“Come on”
I look into her eyes
And guide her
But she offers resistance.
“I shouldn’t”.
“Why not?”.
I don’t have
A valid answer,
Or a tangible
Reason.
I just
Don’t.
“Please”
I say.
His voice is low
Pleading.
I smile
But shake my head.
“Later?”
I ask.
“Promise?”
He looks at me
With an incredulous
Gaze.
I smile and say
“Promise”.
I burry my face
Into her neck
Making her giggle
and squirm
Out of my grasp.
