thrill

Sometimes I wonder

If my heart fluttered

When I was with you

Because you awakened

Parts of me

I was previously unaware of

Or because

The thrill of being with you

Made my heart beat

Faster

Knowing this thing between us

Was forbidden

Knowing it was a secret, hidden

When you asked me if anyone knew

There was a certain glint in your eyes

The way your lips curled into a smile

Made me wonder about this need for secrecy

And your insistence on remaining mysterious

Is in itself was a warning

But it was a warning

I chose to ignore

Over and over again
