[ CW ] Write a story that consists only of monosyllabic words .

It is night when I come in his room, and there are no lights on. So I ca n't see him, but he says he is there, on the bed. His laugh is warm and soft. I step towards his voice, not as fast as I would like, but I do n't want to trip. In the dark I reach out and there he is. Hi, I say. His hand slides up to my face. I can feel the rough spots on the edge of his palm. 
 
 
 My eyes are used to the light, now, in the bed with him. When we kiss it is slow, as if he waits for... I do n't know what. As if he is scared. Are you scared to kiss me, I ask. No, not so much, he says. It is more that I do not want to scare you. So I hold this man tight, run my hands through his hair and down his back, kiss him as if I have not known fear in all of my days. 
 
 
 The dawn has come too fast. We have slept, I think, but not much. His eyes –green like new growth and deep seas– are all that I see. I would like to know the thoughts those eyes hold. Does he too feel as if life has changed? Does he too breathe in joy? I want to tell him so much. I am not sure of the right words. Past his door the world turns. Here, I lie with him.
