Love Poem: love, not just sex

love, not just sex

it wasnt hunger,
not the kind that burns then fades -
but a softness,
a gravity between us
pulling soul to soul
through skin.

we touched without taking,
moved like water moves -
fluid, inevitable,
shaped only by the need
to hold,
not to own

my hands said "stay",
yours said "im here"
without a word.

when we met -
fully, fiercely,
with nothing held back -
it was not fire,
but light.

not a storm,
but rain that kissed the earth
because it loved it.

in that moment,
we were not two bodies,
we were one truth:
that love,
when its real,
has a rhythm
only the heart
can teach the flesh.
