A Letter To My Lover Self

This is what I know: your thighs are steady, your cunt is wet, your mind is open and your heart is present.

There is an investment when you fuck, a way of saying what you love about the persin pressed up against you. There is sight, there is patience, there is vision. And yes there is skill. Like how you can hold that balance between suck and hum, or how your fingers can feel out hir sweet spots and listen. And now, so many years after getting slammed shut you have learned to expand again. Your cunt is wide and embracing. Your clit is large, unashamed, present. It is clear that there is want and you have found the words to ask.

This is what I know: you give voice, give pleasure, give yourself.
