My house is usually an empty home, but when she arrives there's no more space to hold me, she's just that electric, owning every space she walks in. But on a Saturday afternoon, we were filled with Banter and jest, laughter with old recollection and she stumbled on a question. "Such intimate friendships tend to have Forbidden realms, a landscape unavailable to familiar touches. If we'd cross that border, certain layers will peel off, yet certain layers will vanish forever not to be discovered at all. so my question is, is it worth it?"

Genuine about the thoughts that filled her cup, Seeking a raw answer untamed and uncut. "Filter not" shined through her eyes, she was curious about this intimidating unknown.
It wasn't a lustful curiosity, to have a secret worth keeping, such delicacies that salivate the tongue, it wasn't that. But if she would fall, how deep would it be. How rich, potent will the valley be, How clear would be the streams hidden for intense affections be. She wanted to know if a beautiful friendship would produce an insatiable connection, unforgettable and true... she was adamant about her question.

I got off the floor where we laid, I proceeded to walk into my backyard of greenery, a beautiful scenery. I walked unto the patio to sit on the steps victim to the sun, it creaked, I breathed. "Come sit next to me", she came, ten toes free, embracing the wooden floors and the feel of the breeze, she sat next to me. She looked at me, I looked back, I was hesitant, feelings I didn't have rose up, noticing everything about her, reliving memories I actually thought about being with her, but I'm unsure, but my gaze was firm. "It is an unknown, as scary as it might be, its also rewarding... what ensures such fruitful transition is honest reciprocity. Do you want me as much as I want you, or just to feel something for a season to tick off a list. But I've known you long enough to know that's not like you. My question is this, what inspired such Unquenchable ponder?"

We are the same, seeking more than what we could bear. Tipping into realms exclusive for wholehearted pursuers. Its Unquenchable, because it'll remain a thought until we unlock that door. Until we remove the shackles of friendship and adorn a new garment suitable for such terraform. "Does she seek a new norm, have we exhausted every dimension of our friendship she seeks more?, We've been alone in vulnerable moments where holding her close was never enough to understand what it means to find a home, I cherish her soul... but now i can't help but wonder.. I'm conflicted between what we can discover in this new world, or will we leave ruined wishing it never happened at all, nnow unfamiler with what friendship feels like hindering us from returning when we've broken that wall... I'm just unsure" I was lost in though waiting for her response.

She looked down at my hands, Reminiscing on how they've felt on her skin. safe, secure, Yearning, she desired more But different. I've always tried to be gentle regardless of our horseplay, I couldn't function if I hurt her any kind of way so my preasure was always a little lighter, a little soft, almost nonexistent but always present, she felt its warm presence. "It's just.. how can you touch me so and not desire any taste... how can you touch me with so much care and not expect me to want more.. how can you look at me this way like there's none like me in the world" she thought to herself then responded "Just a thought I had and wanted your opinion on"
