Full disclosure

Day one, you walked past me and something in me woke up, something dormant, sat straight up in my spine. The activity of the dead frightened me, "settle down," I commanded my muscles.

But then you looked at me. I was helpless. Still am. Yes, of course you were beautiful to me. No argument could be made otherwise. But that wasn't the whole truth.

You unlocked a side of me I had never entertained.

When you would brushed past my back, I would forget my legs.

When you smiled at me from across the room, I would forget my composure.

When you took my hand at breakfast, I forgot my name.

Your touch sent electricity through my senses.

But nothing, not one thing was able to touch my soul like your intellect. You challenged every single word I said. A worthy opponent. That, dear heart, is the single most attractive, most sensual, most "don't stop" part of who you are. It is this, I will eternally crave.
