There is a love I reminisce,
like a seed
I've never sown.
Of lips that I am yet to kiss,
and eyes
not met my own.
Hands that wrap around my wrists,
and arms
that feel like home.
I wonder how it is I miss
these things
I've never known.

Riding the tiger:
It's an expression used when you're in a situation where it's safer to continue than to quit, i.e. it's safer to stay on the tiger's back than to mount down.
