Marriage

Getting married is an interesting thing to think about. Not because of the commitment, but I immediately begin wondering about the guest list. How do I include everyone I want to while still being sensitive to those my wife to be would want to include? The church I'd need to fit everyone I want to have at my wedding would have to be fucking massive.

Goodnight

I don't think a first kiss should ever be a goodnight kiss. Goodbyes aren't something I'd like to make especially memorable, and that creates sort of a contract or a promise of future intimacy. But mostly it's because of that first reason.

Intimacy

I love the feeling of tension between the bodies of two people. I love the sensation even more when it dissolves under contact.

"All the Time in the World" - Andre Dubus

"'You're not a man. You're a boy. You all are. You're all getting milk through the fence. You're a thief. But you don't have balls enough to take the cow.'"

"She wanted love, but she did not want her search for it to begin in someone's bed."

"She had been reared by both parents to know that concupiscence was at the center of male attention"

A hard lesson more people ought to know.

Not Yet

You can tell yourself that it's not there, but you cannot simply believe something away. Hope instead.

Either cruelest person ever, incredibly forgetful, or she likes me.
