the years built up on us got into the routine of living life hardly ever meeting each others eyes especially when time for bed the I loves you were said by rote hardly murmured then in bed back to back but never touching whispered the three words we only said once a day fighting for covers whereas before we cuddled we crept around the house avoiding any kind of contact I think back to the days we couldn’t keep our hands off each other no more isn't that we were old and decrepit no . . . both were in our forties plenty of passion still inside us we held back though sometime when I looked at her remembering when she was so very desirable she still was wonder if she still thought of me that way if she did why didn't she let me know ahhh . . . probably the same reason I didn't let her know ©December 11, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton Dammit I'm Mad is Dammit I'm Mad spelled backward.

That is so very beautiful. Not like butterflies, but just beautiful. You are a star. |

Real life, powerfully rendered, dear Jerry. That kind of holding back can have such sad consequences. There is maybe too much need to be reassured, but how beautiful it is when we spontaneously and sincerely reassure our loved ones. Have a beautiful Sunday. Margherita |

I think that is why there is the old adage about not going to bed mad...There is the possibility that you will continue to do so. You nailed that back to back business! |

Yes Margherita, the holding back is like putting a gun to your head and slowly, ever so slowly, pull the trigger. Thank you for being here. Dammit I'm Mad is Dammit I'm Mad spelled backward. |

You could be right, Lori, in that I will probably always do that. The back to back business, means no business. Thanks for being here. Dammit I'm Mad is Dammit I'm Mad spelled backward. |
