Unapologetically Needy

There’s nothing more attractive than a man who maintains eye contact. He’s telling me he’s lost all the battles there are to lose, and won all that are to win. That he’s confident I’m going to fall head over heels in love with him tonight. That he’s needy but unapologetic about it.

When I close my eyes

You haven’t changed a bit, I think to myself, you’re still the 20-year-old kid I fell in love with whereas I’m a 65-year-old grandmother full of wrinkles. You smile and ask me if I picked up food for you on the way home. I try to explain to you that I didn’t know I was coming to see you today, death doesn’t come with a phone call
