more than this

you and i meet this way time and time again. usually it's my idea, but i finally got tired of being the needy one, so i tried to give you the weekend off.

but you had other plans, didn't you? i went and made it challenging. well, as challenging as i can. i made you ask me for once. and we both get exactly what we want. you get to take your liberties; i get to surrender myself completely to your savage mercy. we drink from each other over and over again, committing ourselves not to each other, but to our own pursuits of pleasure.

maybe i'm learning. i woke this morning with no care in the world, just the feeling of your arm across my hips. no pressure. no expectations. just you, and me, and the satisfaction of a job well done.

you know there's nothing more than this.

    Seriously, friend, you should write a book. This is poetic and brilliant.

  3. Ah, yes. I know this feeling although my stunted vocab could never have articulated it this well.

  5. "we drink from each other over and over again, committing ourselves not to each other, but to our own pursuits of pleasure."

    This line will resonate with me for a while. Eloquent and heartfelt as always!
