Replying to a comment on:

A Perfectly Normal Man (Free verse) by Dovina

He speaks to me two languages— audible affection, and mute tempestuous desire. He respects me as two people— moral woman, and capable lover. He sees me with double vision— close friend, and a warm set of hips. He touches me with mixed sensations— brotherly kindness, and hungry lust. He’s enamored and frustrated— happy and unhappy, respecting and wanting. He’s made that way— I adore his kindness, admire his restraint.

You don't have to be someone's lover to know, or at least be pretty certain, that they're capable. Personally I don't see any detachment in it - could be that mine's the 'bloke' view, I guess. If anything, it's almost coy - we get to the end expecting some sort of conclusion or making up of the mind (will she? won't she?) but once the narrator's smiled sweetly and gone we realise that we haven't been given anything at all.
