John is one of my favorite lovers.John is one of my favorite lovers. He's exciting and sexy and has a great sense of humor. We've been lovers and friends for well over a year, but I've never met him. I couldn't describe him to any of my friends, and only a few even know about him because not everyone would understand how I can have a lover I've never met. No, he is not a fantasy or an imaginary friend. He's a very real man who happens to live in Chicago while I live in New York. I suppose that we don't really live that far apart -- especially in this age of jet airplanes -- and would have been able to meet by now if we wanted to. Maybe we're both afraid to meet each other -- afraid that we wouldn't click in person -- or maybe we prefer the lack of responsibility inherent in our present relationship. |
