We were once hot and heavy
Steamy,
Lustful,
All over each other,
Bodies entwined
At every opportunity.
*
The newness is gone.
Now, there is nothing but an aloof,
Uninvolved,
Amicable
Friendship.
The new normal
Has no appeal for me.
My heart isn’t in it.
*
We may yet rekindle
What once was …
If only you’ll meet me half way.
Tell me I’m desirable
And I’ll do the same.
Tell me you want me
And I’ll want you.
Touch me
And I’ll touch you.
Pleasure me
And I’ll gladly reciprocate.
*
Until then,
My heart isn’t in it.
Note: This is NOT about my current relationship! Love you, Teddy Bear!
