choose life

if you had to choose between sex and love, if you could only have one for the future which would you choose? the instant gratification of passionate sex in the fast lane? the blood, sweat and bruises of tangled bodies and selfish possession? the honesty of desire and lust? or the lasting safety of calming looks and the touch of security? a lifetime of comfort and enduring companionship? would you choose forever (in the hope that it could be) or momentary highs without disappointments?

[the required elements are all checked off, present and correct. we fulfil the brief and yet deny it�s very existence. we turn loops around ourselves in trying to resolve what is irresolvable, without first recognising the conflict between desire and fear. i feign sleep until i can safely slide out from under your arms. away from the embrace that pretends a love that does not exist. denying myself an emotional attachment. like you do.]

so engineer a night of passion and walk away unscarred. don�t look back, or walk too fast. don�t leave your rings on the bedside table or a note by the �phone. choose love. choose self respect. and walk away. there is no money back guarantee. and everyone has the power to disappoint you if you let them. even yourself.

[ditto means nothing. just the way you like it.]
