Not even a goodnight kiss?

[Pix]

It occurs to me that the only partners I've had who did things like that were those I was with only a short time.

I do it myself, but I don't get it back often. But it doesn't bother me, it's just different people have different ways of saying, "I love you."

One example was a stud who constantly worried about me (and being somewhat masculine I also cut her some slack when it came to little signs of affection) and I still recall fondly when she called a radio station to dedicate a song to me, and how when I endured my October nightmares (which were terrible, a manifestation of PTSD) she'd say she'd never let anyone hurt me and I could feel safe knowing she had my back. That's just one example of why even though I didn't get a lot of goodnight kisses I still felt loved.
