Honestly
It is perhaps because I exude truth
Honesty
Surrounds me heavy like perfume in the air
I would not stop
even for you
Though my words were intruders
in the personal space of your mind
You and I
had honest moments
of the most starkly naked beautiful kind
I think I heard
more than you said
your silence taught me
where my boundaries lay
"I am not ready for this"
and I lied to you for the first time
when I said
I felt the same
when honestly,
all I wanted was to be with you.
