I fell.And it hurt a lot.But yesterday, well, like I said, my mind was clearer than the day before.And I had to admit,that my discomfort was because while we were making love, I had once again vomited all my feelings, Ihad told herthat I lovedherandshe,although excited, andknowingthat she feels the same,had simply shut up.Although hereyesgave me the answer I wanted.That’s whyI didn’t insist.I just left her alone and kept burying myself in her depths instead of making her see the reality that she was trying
