“We were halfway across the country from each other, but no amount

of miles that were put between us could have stopped our love from meeting its flaming curiosity. From miles to hours our love was soon going to explore its strongest desire. Before the alarm on my phone could warn me of his arrival, he appeared on my front doorstep. From friendship to familiarity, my hands against his never felt before body felt like a home without walls and without an overdue rent. For seven days I was in fearless bliss. Using the daylight to explore each others bodies and using the moons rays to open ourselves up and use our new vulnerability to learn the secrets of each others sentimental past life files. I spent seven days in the arms of a once so unreachable stranger. But to him, he spent seven days in the presence of a temporary fix to his curiosity’s high. Just as quickly as he appeared at my doorstep, he disappeared from my arms and my life. From seven days of bliss to several months of silence, our love was no longer wondering, no longer a mystery, no longer separated from distance but from the fulfillment to his own questions. The way my skin might feel against his no longer kept him up at night. He didn’t need to guess anymore because his experiment, his own hypothesis could finally be written in. His conclusion finally complete. He had the answer to his question and it was one that he never intended to skip. But my body, his final solution, was not the problem that he was proud to show that he finally solved.”
