and do you listen when he talks about dante? when he recounts tales of the years gone by? no, you don't. what you want is for him to talk about you. what you want is his time, his mind, his thoughts. his soul. you want him to talk about your lips and your eyes. you want him to caress your foot with his and stroke your breasts with his wet fingertips. you want him to sing to you. and tell you about how much he loves you.

but, no. you don't want to listen to him talk about dante and inferno.

yes, you missed the part when he caught a glimpse of you making dinner and smiled to himself. you missed that part when he took a picture of you when you were not looking.

nobody can help you if you complain about wanting a circle when you have two semi-circles.
