Me and You

It's an empty space
just me and you

the thought makes me giddy
I giggle and
you pause
no, I am not laughing at you
or at this moment
or at the attempt

I am just aware
that there is an empty space
just me and you
and my mind is bending over backwards
to force my tongue to release words to
let you know it is alright

It is alright
to touch me
to hold me
to kiss me
to breathe me
to linger near
while I inhale you
gingerly taste you
run my fingers along
the masculine ridges of you
experiment and delight
in you

But the words escape me
so I grin, giggle
act silly and lose composure
glancing at this empty space
and me and you
