contemplativeI want to be behind her, hugging her low near where her shirt hangs untucked -- warm skin on warm skin -- and my head resting on her shoulder, and us either speaking softly to each other or not speaking at all. And the both of us smiling, and the both of us enjoying each other's warmth, and presence, and smell, and the promise of closer time later. Perhaps sooner.
This goes out to the partners who are together, to the partners who are physically apart but spiritually together...and to my future, partnered self.
