Civics 101

I once loved a man
from Pakistan
He wasn't and I'm not
what you may think
He was beautiful
gifted and humble
taught me things
his skin
dark
kinda forbidden
mouth
we talked and he liked my diction
I was very young
he could have been an addiction
he went home
I wonder about him
my first lust 
my first civic's class
