someone to hold me when I'm upset, you know? and share a bed with. someone I can talk to about anything. someone who'll have sex with me because they want to.
what makes her different? maybe that'll help you figure it out.
anyway, yeah, all that sounds really nice to me too. I've thought about doing it with you before, since we're partners and all, I just figured you wouldn't want to.
