mi companero

you look like sex
with the tattoo on your hip
and the olive
that gives
the perfect finish
to your skin

you are dark
and quiet
and I like the way
your breath and skin smell
when my face
rests against your cheek

I remember
in every detail
the first instant
we found love
disguised at first
as friendship
secretly wanting more

for all
we have discovered
while hiding in each other
spooning lazily
in each other's drawers
I want to thank you
