Why

That's really nice,
really.
Goosebumps
show that you
felt it.

But-
I don't want
that...

I want to hear
that I absolutely
took your breath
away-
made you fall
back in your seat
biting your lip-
pushing your heart
to beat so fast
so hard
that it might
leap from your chest.

But-
I don't want
that either...

So confusing
and secretive
are words
that aren't
blunt enough
to just come out
and say
I want to
feel your body
against mine
in candle light.

But-
I can't want
that...
