The Longest Foreplay

How did we manage

To draw this out

For more than a decade?

Emotional

Mental

Amnesia

Hypnosis

Denial

Avoidance

Delusions

Illusions

Hiding in plain sight

Pretending to be friends.

Just friends

Never just friends

Friends who want to

Take each other’s clothes

Off

Friends who want to

Marry each other

Be there for each other

Hear about each other’s

Day

Hear about anything

And everything and

The most random

Whatevers

Forever and ever

And ever afters…

Without you, life is

Mundane.

With you, the mundane

Comes to life. And I exist

On a happier plain.
