Intimacy Looms
August 14th 2006 13:18
Three days, two nights. Taffy was coming to visit.
It wasn’t just that it was a long time to be spending together at a stretch. She was here for a purpose. To find a non-Newcastle place to live, a place much much closer, from whence she could just pop in any moment of the day or night.
I should have been happy at this development, but I’ll admit to being quite freaked. This was a person uprooting their entire life, to be close to me. At a time when I was getting cold feet.
Intimacy.
It’s fun in small, controlled doses. In bed, in public, behind the couch. But I like the control and I like my space.
And things seemed to be falling apart really rapidly.
