Eyes open
and I see questions
in your eyes,
also open.
A little fear
and trepidation.
We both know
what’s coming next
will hurt.
We just need
to pierce the layer,
getting past
each other’s surface.
Skin to skin,
then we go further.
Breaking through
that thin membrane,
until I’m in you,
and you’re in me,
and we’re sharing
each other’s dreams.
One flesh,
one being.
No more wondering.
