Safe Poem by Aria Lei

I felt so safe in his arms,
Could've fallen asleep.
So secure, and, though he's
The same height, small and fragile.
I never want to look fragile,
Because as far as strength
Goes, I'm only emotionally strong,
I'm not physically strong,
But feeling fragile, well, it
Felt so good for once.

I didn't stop him as he
Held me close, and started
Kissing my neck. Not because
I couldn't have. I could
Have pushed away, and he
Would have listened. Because,
Like the embrace, it felt
GOOD. His lips were warm
Against my cool neck, and
Ever so gentle...
(I just ran out of words) .

My crush on him pales every
Other one, because it's so
Different...and strange. He's a
Tad too old for me, and I'm a
Tad too young for him. I don't
Think I'd ever let C.W. or A.L.
Do that, though, and I've known
Them both longer than him.
I think I've told him as much, if
Not more than, Paiz, a friend
I've known for over a decade.
I don't know.
I really DON'T
Know why I'm crushing on him,
Or anything, and he doesn't seem
To understand how I couldn't know.
But I don't. All I know is that I
Feel safe and secure, for the first
Time in forever, in his arms.
