Motorcycle edited You scared me, but I liked it. I remember sitting behind you on your bike. I think my hands shook as I held your waist. I saw my head on your shoulder in the mirror And smiled, because it was your shoulder. As I began to feel more comfortable with you I moved my head closer to your neck, Smelling your cologne and feeling your body’s warmth. You scared me. I clenched your waist Every time I thought you should have braked. But still I sat behind you. It was a good Excuse to hold you tight. Copyright Janet Kuypers. All rights reserved.
