I.
You were in front of me
We talked a bit in line
You told the cashier where you from paid and then ask him
if they have any ——-
Hmu if you want a bj.
You made a comment about the licence plate on my car and that i was far from home
We chatted for a few minutes while we both pumped gas you seemed really nice
i could use a friend here
hope you see this

We were at the park our kids were having a great time it was late summer perfect weather talked for two hours inched closer and closer couldn’t take my eyes off your lips were glistening from your lip gloss played with your hair gently touched my arm i was too shy to make the move blushing said our goodbyes will not hesitate to kiss your lips I may have lost my soulmate.

If you are truly the other half of my heart, we will find each other again.

I was too nervous to approach you
I mumbled how beautiful your eyes were
I had an overwhelming desire to suck your cock
I saw the wedding band
I couldn’t take my eyes off you
I flirted a little I got nervous and choked I didn’t want to get ahead of myself I wish that I asked for your # I was totally feeling you 100%
I’m pretty sure that you will never see this post.

Remember all the snow we shoveled that first winter at your mothers house and how I stayed over a couple of days because we made sure I was stranded with you in the storm
