Uncertainty

He gently caressed my cheek, resting the back of his hand there just for a moment. I melted.  I was instantly in my mind, trapped amongst thoughts that made me blush. Skin on skin. The taste of his tongue. Sweat leaving a cold shiver down my spine.
   And just like that i was snapped back to the present as he walked away. The warmth of his hand, a fleeting memory. He wasnt mine to revel in and i wasnt his to torment with desire. But he did it, and i swallowed it up eagerly. Always counting the seconds until his next smile. Until our next embrace. And every time my heart pulled apart just a bit more as he spoke of his love.
Maybe i was making this all up in my head..maybe my feelings were engorged by an ever growing crush. Or may be he felt the same. Was just as enamored as i was. Maybe he felt the longing that i felt but was afraid to make a move. Is anyone strong enough to risk a life time on a hunch? On overwhelming lust that verges on primal? Sometimes i wish i was, but i am just a timid sheep. Caught up in the fantasy of being devoured by a charming wolf.
