Clue

After a long spell of love making, we lay down beside each other wrapping my arm around her, still naked but covered with a sheet. She was playing with my chest and I was constantly gazing at the ceiling.

Suddenly the silence broke. "So, would you still love me", she paused for a while and completed, "once we're out of this bed?"

I grinned. "Is that a question? Of course I love you", I replied controlling myself.

"Love is something beyond just naked bodies meeting each other", she seemed serious. Perhaps she got the clue. I didn't respond.

After a few minutes, I was left alone in jumble full of bed. I lit a cigarette and thought, "Better die of nicotine than love".



P.S. - I don't smoke, nor do I hate love.

Someday, things might change, for good. Till then, a wandering soul plunders.

"Better die of nicotine than love"

I loved this ending line.

But sometimes your insecurities make you ask such questions.

Nice Post.
Keep Writing....

Hey, at least he didn't lead her on any further! I agree that the ending was good, too.

I love the last line! Great poem and sadly the way of relationships sometimes when one person wants more than the other.
