Two days past, I entered a different world a world where I am liked, cared for…loved? a world of warmth—naked, comfortable, warmth. This soothing world, however, is missing closeness, touch… The shared hug must go unfelt, the kiss of passion, untasted the feverish chemistry, unfulfilled. You found me; I found you. I love you… Yet, I miss you. Come! step with me into that world where we are physically together– our Alternate Reality.
