Sexual Tension
desire is never explicitly expressed.
Does he even like Christmas Cake?
I dunno.

The wisdom’s in the trees
we were sitting there for ages and I was about to ask him if he was too shy to kiss me, when he kissed me, and he was a really good kisser.
and he told me something he’d never told anyone before. Then he looked like he was going to go to sleep and I said: “are you going to sleep now” and he said: “no” and i asked him what he was going to do instead and he said just kiss me for a bit. I said “ok” and then we kissed and he didn’t leave until about half eight am.
we went out to London Bridge and we were all drunk. On the way back Mark said that it wasn’t nice having a girlfriend he couldn’t kiss and when we were walking down New Cross Road we hung back and he was like can I kiss you and I said ok so we kissed.
he came round to mine we watched a film and pulled; pokey tongue but nice lip think
Some folklorists and literary critics view vampirism as symbolic of the physical and emotional dangers that can come from kissing the wrong person.
There’s no one I like more than you.
Oh.

4.nearness in time.
And yet the operation has failed, we think because of historical reasons and under qualification on the home front.
(And perhaps referring to it as ‘the operation’)

Am...”
