Date: 8 June 2000
with healthy conscience
without hesitation i threw my wine glass down
the night was warm, the moonlight framed you
you gazed at stars reflected in the water
i had to feel you more than friends are supposed to
i had to take your mind away from pain
offer you contact
i walked towards you, brushed your hair aside
kissed you sweetly on the neck
i felt your body shiver
you pushed your back into my chest
i asked for your forgiveness because i knew where this would lead
i was shaking as i kissed you
my voice was shaking as i did my best to explain
i would never do a thing to harm you
and i would never curse you with regrets
my mind was clear
it was my intent to please you
and i did
your intentions were the same
it was strange
and free
and respectful
and in a world where people kill each other in the name of love
in a world where people crown themselves with ownership of each other
it was beautiful
society and gossip rats can fuck themselves
judgemental assholes with delusions of moral superiority can fuck themselves
it was beautiful
