We’ve had this conversation before.                  This line feels odd to me.  I'd rather read how you responded to the "fingertip distance", the "watching".
 
You make eye contact.  I am not sure
what has changed.  Now you allow
 
my touch, all your places caressed; body
humming, eyes slitted in pleasure.
 
I feel the thrill of loving, not knowing             "thrill of loving" seems cliche to me.  Is it really only a thrill?  Isn't our greatest hope, not to be alone, involved?  
when sharp things might come.
The poem leads nicely (my two objections aside) to a very powerful last line.
