Should it hurt me that this -you in my arms, your eyes closed and every muscle in your body tensing as you jerk and pull and move and gasp over me, sweat making your skin glisten- feels very much like you're trying to forget what just happened?

That this is not some kind of coming-around, realization-of-love you had after I asked you out earlier this morning?

Maybe it should. Probably it does.

But when I see you waiting for me outside, kicking pebbles around with your hands shoved in your pockets, looking very much like a lost kid, all I know is that I can manage that pain for now, just as long as it takes you to win your smile back, to cope with this.

I'm here for you, and, as far as I can, as long as you let me, I'll take the pain away.
