“Sexting is Roleplay about Desire”

Article continues after advertisement

I want to sit in your truck and talk about nothing
I want to put up Christmas lights with you in our townhouse and walk
through the snow
I want to hug you for a while under layers and layers of blankets in our
California King
I want to bite your neck and drain your blood like a vampire
I want to be a machine that smells your armpits and measures how much to pay for your labor
I want to kiss you in a shower with a window that has the blurry thing on it
I want to sit on a blanket in a quiet forest and wrap my legs around you
I want to read erotic literature to you on a shag rug surrounded by pillows
I want to build a chair and sit on it while you sit on my lap
I want to get promoted at work and hire you as my assistant and start an
illicit affair
I want to live in your walls and listen to your footsteps as you walk around
I want to go on a date with you at a restaurant and be told that you already secretly paid for it
I want to sit around a giant pot of hot soup and eat it with you forever and I
want to never get full
I want to sign a lease with you and break it and sign another lease with you
I want to ride an eight hour plane across the ocean with you and pat your
back while you puke
I want to marry you and get divorced and reconnect with you 20 years later
when we’re old
I want to move to a villa in Tuscany and meet you for the first time in my garden
I want to transform into a beetle and live in a tiny plastic box in your house
I want to watch you die young and then die in my old age and fuck you
in heaven
