There was a time when you would seal your whispered confessions, the passionate words of your lust, your farewells and goodbyes with a kiss, with a cross, with a sweet little x.
But once it disappeared from sight, once that sweet little x ceased to be, I knew things had changed; I knew we would never be the same. I knew the hint of affection you cradled tentatively in your palm had been lost, had faded forever away.

It's funny how we can tell, even in a purely textual context, what people are feeling. Visual cues are important but not always necessary.
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope that, despite what I just said, it's a miscommunication.
Every time I eXamine your posts, I feel a surge of eXcitement. Your commentary is also eXquisite.
Kidding aside, VL is right, sometimes the biggest clues to the trouble in a relationship are the smallest ones.
Cheers,
Octavia
Verbose Lothario: Alas, it isn't a miscommunication but rather an omission that asserted its presence for some time. But this too will pass. Thank you for the comforting words and concern, VL - they soothe my soul and heart.
Octavia: I couldn't agree with you (and VL) more - the small signs and gestures speak volumes about the state of things. And even though his have faded away, yours have brought a big ole goofy smile to me face!

Nothing lasts, including lust!
All About Love and Sex: Sad but true...
I'm so sorry, Minx.
stareintotheabyss: Thank you so much, JK. But I am all right. I think this was a case of sending the thought into the ether in order to move on.

True, lust may not last forever, but that doesn't make the loss any less tragic.
therittenbergreport: You're so right - and touchingly thoughtful. Thank you...
Beautiful melancholy words....

Poetically touching, whether it be love or lust the sting hurts. Be well Minx
You have such a way with words. I know, all too well, the hurt realization that something special is gone. I hope the feeling is fleeting for you.
