We Knew Who We Were

She sent the package special

delivery

She told me to open it only

in privacy

There were things to be shared

only by us

Things that could never be understood

by those around us

Certain tastes for certain flavors that we had always had

even when we were young

Soon she would arrive, and soon we would devour

those things without the slightest hesitation

Neither of us was just going along

to try to please the other

For what touched me, touched her

for what touched her, touched me

And our appetites knew no bounds

because...

We knew who we were.
