I wonder…
as your eyes drift over these lines,
do you notice how your breathing has already begun to change?
Just a little slower,
a little deeper,
as though each word wraps around you,
drawing you inward, closer, softer…

It feels almost like a secret, doesn’t it?
The way letters can caress,
the way pauses can linger—
a comma brushing your lips,
a dash grazing your neck,
an unfinished thought
sliding down the length of your body.

You keep reading,
but you can’t help wondering—
is this poem about you,
or is it for you?
And what’s the difference,
when my words slip under your skin
and nestle into the warmth
only you can feel?

Each syllable is a fingertip,
each rhythm a breath against your ear,
and as you let yourself sink into the cadence,
your body begins to follow without asking permission.
A little heat low in your belly,
a tingling ache blooming in your thighs,
that subtle pull
that makes you lean closer to the page,
closer to me.

You see, love,
I’m not only writing to you.
I’m writing inside you.
Filling the spaces between your thoughts,
leaving traces you can’t quite shake.
Every line coils a little tighter around your desire,
every image opening a door
that you step through before you even realize.

And isn’t it intoxicating,
to imagine me here—
watching as you read,
feeling the way your body responds
to words that should have been harmless,
but aren’t anymore?

You ache for more.
You ache for me.
The poem is not enough, is it?
Because behind each line you feel the press of a body,
behind each pause, the whisper of a kiss,
behind each word,
the promise of what I would do
if I stepped out from between these lines
and into your room right now.

And the truth is…
I’ve already stepped in.
I’m already with you.
Inside your breath.
Inside your skin.
Inside that quiet, desperate longing
you’re trying not to name.

And you know you’ll carry me—
long after the poem fades—
as a hunger,
as a pulse,
as a secret ache for the author
you cannot help but want.

You weren’t written about. You were written for.
