Approachable Ones - Kh

Approachable Ones  - KH


They are the approachable women.
The ones men do not fear.
They wear modesty like a glove.
They do not seduce on the first date.

They are the ones you bring home to mother.
The ones you can trust, the ones with whom you share secrets.
Not the actresses, the models, the playgirl bunnies.
They are the ones who try too hard and live with cats later.
