That is that moment when the smile becomes her arms around your neck
as she pins you to the wall and her tongue is in your mouth
and she laughs because it is always about that thing you have been avoiding because well you’re not sure why
when what she wants is your hands stroking her ribs
and she presses herself to you because that is the way that you will understand the look she threw at you and walked away a year before
that left you humming some Beatles song as you drove away and dreamed of the taste of her skin at the collar of the white dress
and the touch of her lips on your neck
and you were drawn into depth of her eyes because they are so open and smiling because she knows that this is how she teaches you about joy.
