Prologue
How do you know if you truly love someone or if that person truly loves you…? Shouldn’t there be a sign that explains the pros and cons of a relationship so you have an idea of what you’re up against?
I know what you’re thinking…or at least I think I do- well not really but it should be close enough…
I watch him in the shadows of my mind- behind the skeletons of my own closet. He knows my every move, every movement I make he could mimic in his slumber like a mime. He matches my heartbeat, the slow steady beat of a drum, as we lay still on a flower bed of unfolded clothes that are probably dreading to be washed again. He knows my favorite song and sings it with such depth and honesty. He knows every stroke and every touch to make my body shrivel up into a raisin…he knows me. He knows my heart inside and out- he knows me but what have I learned about him?
…Love or lust?
