Working Without a Contract

I don't say I love you. It's not even implied. I don't say I need you. Need is relative anyway. I don't have to be vulnerable. We don't seem to require it. Vulnerability and need are equally inappropriate in this relationship. But, you come to me. You ask nothing. I ask nothing. We just give and take and when you are gone there are no holds, no ties, no love. Only emptiness and so very soon a desire for the next time. I'm sorry. This is only my opinion. I don't know yours. We don't talk purpose. We talk pleasure. Yet, we seem to understand each other very well. We have an instinct driven relationship that is fundamentally physical. Dogs, Cats, Horses, You and I. A perfect match Finding the feeling without the fidelity. Sure puts a new twist on share and share alike. We have such wild ecstatic surface pleasure and such underlying sadness.    So far.
