Love letter # 1001

Shall we apply the old standards…or would you like to break with convention? We could, of course, repeat old patterns. Bring the grime of history to our table. Start with a spark, end with a smear of ash. Rub more salt in.

Or we could choose something else.

But that is just fighting talk; and we both know that fighting is tougher than talking. We are emotional beings; people who understand that high minded assertions are wont to splinter on the surface of desire.

I am, no doubt, weak enough to want you. I cannot so easily declare that I am strong enough to love you. Simply mad enough to try.
