Can I kiss you? He asks
I nod shyly
My heart flutters
He leans in
Is this okay? He asks
I flush and smile
His hands wander tentatively,
Respectfully
Let me know if I make you uncomfortable, he says
I think to myself, how lucky
He’s one of the good ones
I let my guard down
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
Please don’t, I think
My heart pounds
I try to turn my cheek
His lips attack
Stop, no, I beg in my mind
I freeze up
His hands grope and prod
Aggressively
Get off of me! I scream silently
I feel my senses shut off
His hands are tearing at my clothes
This can’t be happening to me
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
Can I kiss you? He asks
I step back
Not tonight, I tell him
He nods
Is this okay? He asks
I wince and shake my head
He stops, the Earth stops
Let’s slow down then, he suggests
Let me know if I make you uncomfortable, he says
Thank you, I say
He’s one of the good ones
I keep my guard up, just in case
