When words become superfluous.
Honestly, today I awoke to myself dry humping the sheets. Rolled over and my girlfriend was wide awake. Ouch. Call it what it is.
At any rate, it’s not the lack of sex that bothers me so much; I was actually happier when I thought we were really practicing abstinence because it was easier. But what bothers me is the silence. Our love has been silenced and that is more difficult than anything else. What constitutes silent love? A lack of expression. So I thought about what it takes, the small things that emote love, that don’t take a lot of work. And I realized it’s been over a week since I’ve been kissed. Sure, I do it all the time, but I haven’t been kissed in over a week. Consequently I feel like I haven’t been loved in over a week. That’s a long time. And if I could take my pick, that’s what I could use during this difficult time. Kissing says so much. So I have compiled a small gallery of kissing just as a reminder – go kiss someone, something that you love today. We may not be the only species to kiss, nor do all varieties of humans kiss, but it sure is an effective and enrapturing way to show your affection. Think of all the things you can communicate with a kiss!
