So close, so intimate,
too linger there, for just a few more
instances

a pat of her head, a stroke of her hair
softer than I expected
palm pressed to palm
and a feeling so...

soft
and we turned them
looking at our hands together
I looked in between them

expecting to see a glow
magic
some form, some resemblance
of electricity

and everything was nice,
everything was sweet
everything was perfect
and somehow the conversation changed

I moved in closer
everything got a little racier
she got a little nervous
and maybe I had one or two... pints too many

and suddenly she was in a hurry
pictures I showed her that she had no business seeing
a past I should probably forget
things perhaps, I shouldn't say

momentarily scared away,
but I suspect
she'll come back
for another day

the age old question of,
If you love someone...
do they need to know everything?

Nope. There's plenty I've never said and more I don't want, nor need, to know. But thanks for sharing this. Peace.

Cheers, martini!

A very intimate expose ~ which I enjoyed reading!
To your question "Do they need to know everything?", I quote Andrew Scott who took the words 'write' out of my pen ~ "Nope. There's plenty I've never said and more I don't want, nor need, to know."

Thanks for the advice, I think you're right. If questions come up, I should be honest and answer them, but there's no need to offer information thats not needed. I think she just got a little close to me and I unconsciously said something to make her back off a bit, unconscious self protection. I'll keep an eye out for it, thanks

It all depends upon the person. Some people can take an awful lot, and give an awful lot, of information without losing their mystery and thrill ability. Others, not nearly so much... and some poor unfortunates none at all.

well done...
and there are things I am not sure any of us find easy to share, and what is too much, is always a guess..
