I love that movies cant make me cry - but poetry can

I read this poem in my Creative Writing tute that I am in at the moment (last ever Arts unit!) and it made me cry. In public. I think it explains Adam and I and our connection a little.

Dirty Talk by Graham Rowlands

You have to believe in what words can do
to do this. She does. I do. we do. There's

something about how we've got it off
to get us off that stops me from asking

Did you go on like this before we met?
Have I always gone on like this with you?

I don't think we started when we started.
I would have been first but not by much.

When we don't, we don't give it a thought;
when we do, we can't think of anything else.
