"I want to explore the world,
with you,"

He says, imploring.

"I want to explore this city,
together."

He smiles. 

I look at him
at his crystal,
calculating eyes.

"My love,"

I want to say.

"There's only one thing
I want to explore."

Instead I laugh
placing my arms 
around his shoulders.

We stay like this 
as he rocks side to side
breathing in my hair.

He heads into the bedroom
signaling the end of 
the conversation.

"You,"
I whisper
as he disappears 
around the corner.
