Sunday 160 - Desire



She wanted a tender caress
and to hear
“I love you”.
She didn't know how to ask.
He wanted to touch her and say
“I love you”.
He couldn’t get by his stoic past.

how come everything you write sounds strangely familiar? Well except for Wednesdays and I sure hope they're not familiar to me!

Pheromone Girl said...

I agree with the Diva. This seems very familiar.

Do you happen to know how to make a good snow angel?

Monkey Man said...

I can only make good snow angels when I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
:-o

Brian Miller said...

Sharon Day said...

Heartbreaking. It left a little knot in my belly.

A tale of communication.

Ah yes....we've all been there.

So true of many, and so well written as always.

Olivia said...

A set of too well remembered pasts is their only impediments.

MorningAJ said...

That's really sad. Because there are probably thousands of people out there with just that kind of problem who are missing out on love as a result.

I've done 160 here.

This is so familiar...I am still waiting...

Here is mine:

if only he could see behind

Stranger said...

Communication between two people can be so complicated.

I hope he gets over his stoicism and she finds a way to ask for what she needs without ruining the mood for herself by having to ask for something she feels he should know to give.

At this point, I don't have a 160 for the week. If some inspiration strikes, I'll let you know. Have a great week Monkeyman, and by they way... Nice legs. (I may have stopped by PG's place before yours.)

Felicitas said...

An impossible love story, my friend... and a good lesson in 160!

Today I have one too:

Sad, relatable, excellent.

Here's mine.

Anonymous said...

And that is the plot of half of what I write.

Mine is up

Anonymous said...

If they can't get by their fears--not much happiness can happen... Very good, MM--a common dilemma for some people.

Here's mine today:

Aww...we are all often trapped by ourselves and our fear of speaking up.

I'm a little late, but I'm in. Mine is here.

It tugs on my heartstrings.

Shadow said...
