When I was a child my
sister and I experimented
with a book of matches
down in our basement.
The house had been built
in the previous century,
there was no danger of
anything in our
root cellar
catching fire, but I worried
about our skin and hair.
Fire generates heat,
it can burn your
food and keep you warm.
Fire management is the
solution, prevention and
caution, rather than
avoidance, who wants to
be left out in the cold
when you could be scorched,
scarlet, and screaming with desire?
Typically fires start small
,
this is one of the reasons
I wasn't particularly scared
when I met him. He was
rather attractive, I love
the color navy although
he couldn't have known that
when he chose it that
morning.
He was cool
,
that was bad, in a good way.
His skin is smooth
, I'm
still not entirely sure what
color his eyes are, having
spent more time trying to
avoid them than losing
myself in their depths.
Hugging him was so easy
at first, I kissed the side
of his cheek and told him
that he was loved...
There were no sparks,
it was a warm and tender
slightly awkward embrace,
what you might expect
to find between two
people who don't know
each other well. I was
surprised he let me hug
him as he didn't seem like
he wanted anyone to get close.
Distance was a danger
I
didn't recognize at the time.
When it seems like someone
isn't into you, either you can
move forward, or you can step
back to evaluate. We were
talking one day, I was upset,
I reached out for comfort,
and was gratified when I
felt his left hand on my arm.
There are people who try to be
sexy, some of them actually are.
Sex appeal can be more than just
how someone is built or the contours
of their face. My weakness is sensual
men. Those subtle, skillful creatures
who are hot enough to make water
droplets dance on top of an iron
skillet while retaining an exterior
cool, these men make me melt.
Recently I read an article on
energy
.
This author's theory was that you
will be attracted to people who have
the opposite type that you do, and I
believe that this is true. A friend of
mine was talking about this guy,
I could tell she wasn't interested in
him and I marveled at the guy she
did like because he was a player;
those people are unnattractive to me.
I like to think about sex as a game
where you can give, you can take,
or you can share. To kiss, to be kissed,
to be kissing, I crave the slow burn,
the building of intensity, the guy who
barely touched my hand when he
could have made a bolder move,
that created a feeling of safety inside
of me and that's the best way to
get a woman like me.
Another article I read said that
men are attracted to women who
feel safe. I have no idea if this is
true or not, what I do know is that
if a man can make me feel safe,
I am his for as long as he wants
me in his life. I will give, I will
take, I will tell him everything,
I will trust him, and I will
forgive him before he apologizes.
Writing someone out of your
life is easy, much easier said,
than done. I enjoy being around
people who make me feel good
about myself. Safety and security
are very important to me, more
so than money, cars, or even
sports although baseball is a close
second because I feel safe when
the game is going.
His restraint, his caution, his
careful assessment of what
I was thinking and feeling
was so incredibly sexy I
couldn't stand it. He drove
me wild the way an ocean
tosses mermaids around
before gently caressing them,
give me a reason to heat
up very slowly, and
I will
.
What the future holds is
anyone's guess at this
point in time. Perhaps he
will meet someone else,
it's conceivable that I
could find a man to rival
him and his expertise. A
book I read said that
a man who can make a woman
,
maybe that's better left, unsaid...
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
