Before You

In my lifetime I have loved many Not necessarily men or women or anything But everything I have loved: neighbors friends movie stars movie shows pets parents marilyn monroe and E.T. Old women in grocery stores Old men in parks My love is open to suggestion... It's open to anyone But I have not known love I have not known the ache of absense The longing for a touch The butterflies and sleepness nights I have never touched love with my hands or felt it melt against my lips I have never cradled love between arms and legs I never knew love was heaven I never dreamed heaven would be so hot against my flesh How could I have survived time before now before love BEFORE YOU

My experinence is reversed. I still remember my first, real love (puppy love for me) at 16. I have never felt the same since then...Beautiful poem, Celeste.
