The week past.

Tell me what it's been like, to be in your body this past week, to squint at your phone's screen, morning after morning, when your alarm goes off yet all you wish is to stay in bed a little longer but the thought of paying your monthly dues jolts you out.

Tell me how disappointed you got when you groped in the dark, trying to retain your sleep as you peed, but the gush that let itself out woke you fully anyway.

What thoughts went through your mind as the warm water traced paths down your body, head to toe? Perhaps you felt regret over the things you did(not) say in the day past? As your hair foamed and rinsed off, did your childhood game of timing how long you could hold your breath resurface? How long did you hold it for, if you did? Did you rub your body with a towel, or pat it down? What words did you think of and whisper to your vessel as you lathered it in cream, back and forth, forth and back?

I think your body is beautiful.

When the tea lapped your lips and the aroma of it's flavor filled the air as you savoured its taste, did gratitude slowly come over you, or are you one of those who wouldn't be caught dead having tea before their morning commute? Do you enjoy tea as much as I do? Coffee? Fresh juice or a smoothie? 

Did you wear your favorite pants to work as a mood enhancer, or do you just love how well they fit over your form? What did you do when Sally the snitch ratted you out in the morning meeting? How about when Mr. Manager kept reminding you of your CoB deadlines? Did you want to stitch his lips shut, 'cause I'd wish the same too.

How fast did time go before your lunch break? I bet you snagged that client you've been raving about for days. Good.

What kept you occupied as you painfully watched and waited as traffic wormed its way out of the city? A book? Music? I like the sound of that.

Tell me about the feeling that flooded over you as you peeled off your clothes as soon as you stood in your doorway. The sighs and the grunts and the oohs and aahs that came out of you as you washed the day off your body. The lightness that settled in your heart as you brought out the ingredients to your favorite recipe. You just couldn't wait to devour that dish, aye?

As you climbed into bed, what did you wish to do but maybe lacked the willpower for, a video, text message, mayhaps a phonecall that you've been dreading?

What has it been like, being in your body this past week? 

Letdowns, body aches, heartbreak? Soreness, illness, bad news? Hopes dashed, victories, kisses, hugs, love?

Did you at least make eyes with someone? A week is terribly long to not pack in some amount of pleasure.

Show me where it hurts, that I may soothe you. Show me where it feels amazing, that I may share in your gladness. Show me where you desire pleasure, that I may have you enjoy it.
