My Lover

I have a new lover. I have the most wonderful new lover that will never shun me. This lover accepts me whenever I arrive, and allows me to leave without guilt. My lover is gentle, yet strong. My lover is quiet, yet vocal. Beautiful. My new lover has no rival, no equal. I can sit with my lover and feel comfortable that I am not being ignored, or shunned. And I can also share. I love the way my lover can make me sweat, yet cool me off when I need it. Make me thirst. Then quench it.

When I go home and shower, I can smell the mix of my sweat with the scent of my lover. It rises in the steam and I remember the time we spent together. It is salty and sweet. I miss it when it is gone.

This lover will never leave me.
