Finishing the Statue

and I think about you
and the hours we were touching

and I remember
staring at your face
trying to imprint it in my mind
but you were different
every time I looked
I can still see you grinning
your infectious smile

for a few seconds
you were naked in the light
god-like perfection
was sculpted in your muscles
and I was the first
admirer at the unveiling

we lay in the dark
with no inhibitions
we touched
and our separations were lost

you came from behind your smile
and I came from behind my skin
and I saw a thousand faces
when I looked at you through the dark

I said I love you
and you knew it was for one night
but I still think about you
and the hours we were touching
