“Exquisitely Gentle”
And that was the perfect way to put it. At first I thought her near-whisper voice was an act, but the more time I spent around her, the more I realized she was simply kind. She washed me in that submissive shower of kindness and I remembered that some women develop a sweet touch but you shouldn’t take it personally because it’s just their way. How confusing it must be for men. Her delicate laugh shows beautiful white teeth that can come back and slice you in pieces.
My instinct was to hold her. When I’m upset, I don’t want anyone to touch me. I feel uncaring and useless, later I would try to explain that. She slipped in the sand and I held out a hand to take her things while she pushed herself up, but instead she put her hand in mine so she could rise. “I like having you here,” she said. It was a very costly lesson of how thing can punch you back in the tummy, because is in there where the feelings collide. It was warm inside of that bubble and so cold outside.
Who knows how men get this, where the knowledge comes from, all I knew that evening is that conversation, if you do it right, lasts far longer than any sex you could ever have.
When times are good they are nonstop good.
Good meaning profitable, busy.
