Forbidden Fruit
As he walks through the door, my heart races a little faster
I see him, and see him see me, but I wonder why?
As I walk to my destination, I involuntarily shuffle my feet.
There he is, watching; like an eagle watches its prey from above.
Yet, it’s not intimidating- it’s affectionate, longing.
I ask him if he needs anything, knowing his true thoughts won’t be his answer.
He asks for cheese slicers, and I hide a smile as I take him there.
As I leave him be, my mind wanders.
Do I want it? Do I know what I want?
The answer is simple, I do
Yet, I don’t
I’m scared
And curious,
All at once. I want to see what it’s like.
There’s just one thing holding me back:
His past, his family. I know him, but I don’t
He knows me, but he doesn’t.
As I wish him a good night, and a smile
He leaves, leaving unspoken words as he is enveloped
Into the cold night.
Leaving my mind to ponder
The forbidden fruit should never be tasted; but will it?
