this morning #1137.

this morning, the thick grey streak running through the last of his black hair had vaulted to the top of his attractive traits. it basically appeared out of the blue. i suppose that i hadn’t been paying enough attention lately. either way, the shift in his image caught me off guard & just like that, i fell hard for him all over again. this time, it was a different story than it had been that first time decades ago. back then, we were both so desperate for love. young & flirty. playing slightly dirty in that artless way that desperate folk do. if i’m being honest, at first i liked him for his car. it took a bit for me to warm up to the rest of him but once i did, we were hot & heavy. then we weren’t. maybe this’ll bring that heat back.
