The Player

Oh, he's been in and out of the story for awhile. Of course he has. How could he not be? We had fun together, loved traveling together, stealing away little places here and there ---- my arrivals were always our little secrets. A couple days spent together in random destinations were enough to rejeuvenate ourselves and then off we went, back to our separate lives. Mostly physical, of course, but a deep connection has kept us close over all these years. We don't ask each other many questions about the day-to-day things, but we know everything about each other. And oh, how we love each other's company. We're like each other's pets ... holding on to each other with a quiet comfort, taking from each other the confidence and the courage to head back out to our own everyday. Maybe it's nice that no one really knows about us ---- just us. It's an easy relationship that's probably more of a friendship. I think we both want to always have each other in our lives, sharing in the triumphs and the lows, but we both know that's probably not going to happen and we couldn't explain it if we did. So, as always, we'll take what we have for the moment and hope each time that it's not the last we'll see of each other.
