And then she asked me what I want

And I realized I didn’t know.

Instinctively, I thought sex

Because, well, I did.

But as I looked at her I realized that wasn’t it.

It was more than that.

I want love, I thought.

I want to lose myself in her completely.

And then before I knew what was happening,

I was speaking

Love, I said.

And she looked at me.

Is that confusion in her eyes? Pity?

I was sure I had said too much

Played my hand too soon.

It was just a fraction of a second

But in that moment

I wished for death.

Anything to end my humiliation.

But before my prayer could be answered

Her lips found mine.

I suddenly felt like I could have everything I ever wanted

I knew exactly the answer to her question.

You, I said.

I want you.

recently came across RegularJOE's RECord  "Who are you?" and I was really moved by one of his answers. So I decided to do a lil remix and flesh it out a bit.....

here's the original question:

11. What are you craving right now?

sex, I mean, love, I mean, death, I mean, you
