Only so far June, 26, 2015

 

Something stirred in me when I looked in her eyes for the first time, something dead or at best, long asleep, her eyes thick with mystery, presenting me with a puzzle I needed to solve, not merely wanting to do something with her, but something I’d not done in a while with anybody, those eyes staring out at me from a shell of her own, she hiding from the world just as I was, only in a different way, so that she risked little and exposed less, even when our anatomy connected. I could only push in so deeply before I was forced to stop, too close to that secret part she kept private, even penetrated as she was, later learning she would never give that part of herself up, to me or anybody, we could only go so far.
