Be’s Been Sensitive Lately

when she gets like this, all I want is to stay close and move at her pace. More introspective, full of boundaries… she said she didn’t want to be touched. That’s okay. We agreed on kisses, a movie, and the rest we’d just let happen. The silence between us had a sound. She let herself drift into the sensations, and I, just watching, felt every shiver as if it were my own.
