what i miss
after being single for so long, i've come up with several things i think i miss about not being single. of course, there's the sex. then there's having another body around. then there's having someone to go do things with. But most of all, and particularly what i'm missing now, is the intimacy.
Not sex-intimacy. i can have sex with anyone. i miss the intimacy you share with someone who knows you like no one else knows you. knowing i can put my feet in his lap without asking first. eating food off each other's plates. not jumping when you feel a hand on your hip in the middle of the night. being kissed on the back of the neck while standing at the stove. picking out movies at the video store that the other would just love. and being right about it. not being shy about sitting up naked and letting the fat roll. baby pictures. being quiet and knowing exactly what you mean. genuine laughter.
yeah, that's what i'm missing.
