Part Two: Distance

After the bonding becomes a habit and the drunk affections become sober decisions, there is something between each kiss. A distance; a thought.

Does it hurt?

Is it voluntary?

Does it matter?

I think the distance is necessary. I think that the thought must be there, between two lovers. Separate; not spoken. This is the way we are driven to become each other’s secrets. Isn’t it?
