Truth Or Dare

That moment when I pulled the blanket away from you, and looked you in the eye. Defiant. Stop me if you dare. You smiled. I never took you for a gracious loser. I was impressed. And we both knew that it was never about the blanket.

I wish I was closer. To you. Down the street, to the left. Walking distance or maybe a bus ride away. Because sometimes, a phone call just isn't enough. I wouldn't know what to say, but I would stand by your side anyway. I would hold your hand if I saw you falter in your steps. I would block the way if you tried to crawl into the little black hole at the back of your head. I would get food and unpack it on your sofa. We would eat straight from the boxes as we flip channels in search of something ridiculous to watch. It will all be okay.

And you would chide me when I don't finish my food. But you would do it with a smile. The hours pass and the television is pushed out of our minds as conversation takes shape in bed. Words spill, confessions are made and secrets revealed. The tears will be wiped away by the other. And we would lie there, shoulder to shoulder, so close yet far away. Lost in our own thoughts, embracing the winners of fights we just lost. Remember the time when life was simple? We would both smile. But the darkness would hide it all away.

Shadows play a game of hide and seek over my outstretched feet. Little patterns whispering over the brown skin. The wind can be heard through the rustling of leaves. Angry nudging, doubtful thoughts. Don't make me do what I don't want to. Don't make me regret what I should never have to.

I think of the future whilst you sleep. How our paths might never cross again. I will miss having you being the most important person in my life.You will always be the most important person in my life,

You make me smile, I confess. I know, you whisper back. I might be in love, I hesitate. I know, you smile. But how can I know for sure? We never know anything for sure. And we stare silently at the ceiling as we let the distance creep between us.

Goodnight sexhay bear.
