Human partnership

No likes yet ♦

from the ABC set love

I lie next to a fellow human
My partner
She is of the opposite sex to me
I wonder what it would be like to lie
Next to a man

I feel my body repulse a bit. What if that man
Was my dad or my bro
Why the repulsion?
There is something inbuilt in me that I would like
To lie next to the female form

I think of lying next to my mum
That is slightly repulsive
So it is not all females
How about my old maths teacher
Miss Oaten. No I would not like that

So maybe it is that she is a girl
My preferred and chosen girl
That makes lying next to her so special
I imagine lying next to another hot girl
Hmm that works

But then I imagine lying next to my preferred girl
My chosen girl after
No that doesn't work
It is the mutual trust
The fidelity that holds us togther

Would I want her to lie next to another guy
In an intimate way?
Maybe before when I didn't care about fidelity
But not now
No, I want her to myself

You catch the way our minds work sometimes when we are lying next to a sleeping partner and we start wondering... and then we realise exactly what we have right next to us. You take us along on your narrator's journey. Well thought out.

Absolutely. That was my exact intention. Thanks for identifying with me.

Hey magicdarer, that's a good effort and no mistake. It's a roller coaster and you pulled it off. Well done.

Thanks scratch, pleased that you feel i've pulled it off. I guess it's a tender subject matter to negotiate. Really appreciate your comment.

The way the mind works, eh? Nice one.
