If I forget to breathe

[Ophelia245]

So I'm not normally into poems that rhyme, but I just couldn't help myself.

Let me know what you think.
------------------------------
Forgive me if I tremble,
As my lips graze the curve of your spine.
And your fingers reach out blindly,
Only to lose themselves in mine.
Forgive me if I hold your gaze too long
When your eyes connect with my own
And you arch your head back slightly
So I can hear you moan.
Forgive me if I forget to breathe
When your hair brushes across my cheek.
And the scent of your skin leaves me paralyzed
While your hands find the spot they seek.
Forgive me if I hesitate
When you pull me toward your breast.
The darkness splashes across your smile,
And my heart swims light in my chest.
Forgive me if my kisses linger
Longer than they should
And I fumble for a way to bring you the joy
That no one else ever could.
Forgive me if my mouth betrays me
And I decide to come clean,
To explain why this moment is so important,
To tell you what these nights really mean.
Forgive me if I don’t want it to end,
If my body aches for more.
Because I still can’t stop shaking.
And I’ve never felt like this before.

Hehehe. I just found out that I have a chance to read this aloud to an audience next week, which is something I've never done before. *Amber blushes* Kind of an embarassing subject to stand up and talk about in front of a bunch of people. We'll see whether I can bring myself to do it or not...
