Feedback: Yes please!
I did everything I was supposed
to.
I laughed at your jokes, agreed
with your ideas, sat patiently, quietly, just listening to you when that was
all you needed.
And when you wanted more, when you
put your arms around me and pulled me close, I ignored the smell of alcohol on
your hot breath. I told myself this was
love, not induced by Jack Daniels.
It made it easier that way, easier
to love you, easier to love myself, because if someone out there, anyone, cared
about me then maybe I wasn't so messed up after all.
And you let me believe that, even
after the night was over, because you had reasons of your own, reasons I could
only guess at.
That was our relationship, and
yes, I call it a relationship not a tryst, a fling, most certainly not a
mistake. Because I looked into your
eyes and I saw what I wanted to.
I saw love and no one can tell me differently.
