A Quick Chat

-After such a long time we are now sitting here, having eaten some breakfast, having told our stories from since we last met, having laughed and cried and content to be by each other’s side if only for a few moments – Will you make love to me?

-Is that all you want, sex?

-No, that is not ALL I want.

I want to be with you as man and wife. I want to be with you till my days reach an end. I want to kiss you goodnight and wish you sweet dreams before you sleep and to wake to you first as I travel from sleep to wakefulness.

I want to walk with you, hand in hand along the beach or a forest trail or as we meander through the city streets

I want you, all of you – but I know, that, I cannot have - so for now, for this moment, I want us to make love for a little while

Before you rise, and dress

And return to your husband
