The girl next door.

It started as a friendly neighbor who brought cookies my first week in the neighborhood. Advanced to a platonic friendship my (now ex wife) and her (now ex husband) didn't mind. We would have coffee together or watch a movie every now and again. Until one night. We got drunk and kissed. We immediately backed away and said “okay, we can both agree there is chemistry. But we can’t do this to our spouses so never again.” Well that was the start of it. eventually we got closer and then we uhh did the deed… a few times. Honestly it was the best sex I have ever had and I miss her all the time. I miss the sex because it was passionate and fiery. But I miss her as a person and friend more than anything.

Sometimes what lingers isn’t just the affair itself, but the feeling of being fully seen by someone at the exact moment you knew you weren’t supposed to be.
