I look at the picture you took of us lying in bed;
the sun slipping around the curtains and trailing over our naked bodies.
Mussed hair, eyes closed, the beginnings of a smile as my head dips down near yours.
I take my time looking at that captured moment; it's one of my favorite pictures of you.
The sweep of your dark lashes; your lips on my full breast.
Loving the way the light shines on the few gray hairs that shoot through your hair.
I remember that day; so satiated, we could hardly move.
you looked at me like I was water and you were a man dying of thirst.
I lay there, legs still shaking, wanting nothing more than to stop time.
