she was a wreck but so was he

In this day in age, with connectivity and never being unplugged, I wonder how people would react to being disconnected. No mobile updates, no emails, or photo comments. No texts, none of these things. Maybe, just maybe, if we took the time to see who is in front of us instead of whose on our phone, we'd see the beauty in everything. Lets turn off the phone for the night. Enjoy the person your spending the night with. No distractions from the outside world. Focus on her eyes, on her lips, on the way she breathes. Maybe if we disconnect together; maybe, just maybe, our generation could find love again.

In the time of hook-ups and one night stands, how often have you seen the wrong people getting together for all the wrong reasons? Say it with me and out loud: Too Fucking Many.

So call me crazy or idiotic. But next time, take a chance, take a step back and think. Where is this drunk text gonna get me? This obscene phone call? This awkward knock on the door at 3 A.M.?

I'm tired of it. So I'll disconnect for now and talk to this sweetheart next to me. This woman who thinks I'm decent enough to have her for a few hours. Unplugged and honest, if only this once. I'll know I was real with this person. And that's more than most of us can say as of late. Taking it all in, the way she laughs at my silly jokes. Her warm smile and her honest way of mocking my style. Disconnected, I take in the way her body looks when it's bathed in this candle light. Her naked frame a work of art. Everything in this moment, from the music to the lights to most certainly her, it's all exquisite and beautiful. From her naked ankles to her nose and cheek bones, I get lost.

I am Lost now.

As for the rest? Well the rest is mine and her's. Away from prying eyes and words. Another time maybe my trusted perverts :) This one, I keep for myself. It's so easy to be cheap. It's rightchous to be true.

For kids our age, or kids for any age for that matter, Love is like a secret. Anything spoken louder than a whisper and you ll lose it. Gone forever and your lost in nonsense. So I whisper for now, quite and unplugged. Content and happy, cause in all honesty, maybe all you need is a whisper.
