5. Your lips, your shoulders, and my fingertips

New songs on my playlist are a welcome and effective heart balm. Thank you sweetz.

I like to think about you singing to me. It makes me feel close and connected to you. Our closeness and our connection is the essence of you and me.

You are with me in all I do, Craig. I think about you all the time. I think about you as I move my body in my lagree classes. I think about you when I talk to the other men in my life because they’re not you. They can’t be. There’s not the same degree of closeness. The connection isn’t there. It’s no one’s fault. It’s just how it is.

You are good for me. You make me feel like I am, like, blooming like a flower. You tap into something that I thought had hardened up years ago.
