To an Old Friend Sex…

To an Old Friend

Sex can be
a path to intimacy
a deepening of friendship
but you
are married.

Desire expressed
though clearly restrained
can be
a path to intimacy
frustrating
and flattering.

Desire silenced
can be
a gift.

    Heh. There’s no real backstory as such; I suppose I had someone vaguely in mind, but it could apply equally well to quite a few old friends. 🙂
