Does He Know?

Author’s Note: Starsky’s feelings for Hutch are reflected in this poem. This is dedicated, as always, to my friend Linda.N

Does he know that my feelings for him have changed?
That one day, when I looked into his eyes,
I saw what he really was to me,
What I think he has always been to me.
Does he know that I think of him when we are apart?
I count the hours until we are together again,
Never quite feeling complete without my other half
That I have come to depend on.
Does he know that I love him, like one who is in love?
Wanting to give all of myself to him, if only he would take it
And give me his sweet love in return.
His love that I have longed for.
Does he know that if he came to me in the night
I would never turn him away?
I would hold him close and love him until the morning sun
Found both of us, arms and legs still tangled together from our passion.
And does he know that he is my lost heart
That I have been searching for?
The only man I ever want to hear my sigh as he enters me.
My hands in his golden hair, knowing that I too, am the only
Man to ever hear his sounds of pleasure.
He will never know these things unless I tell him.
And today is as good as any to finally have my questions answered,
And take that chance… to love him.
