Until

My body won’t behave,
craving the closeness of a kiss between us,
the bravery of our beating hearts,
the thunder and thudding in my ears,
electric pulsing through pressed lips.

I am insane.
I ache with madness,
mind and blood racing as you raise the stakes,
and I realise I have nothing left to lose, but everything.

I am ready to give it all up,
but I’m never sure that I ever had it,
until I had you.
