The Downside of Restraint

though the two 
held in their extreme
horniness, there was
no hiding that look in
their eyes---that one
where the want to tear
off the clothes of 
said hot body was
one which brought
them carnally back to
the roll in the hay of 
their ancestors &
for a minute, there
was no doubt between
the both of them that
the historical reenactment 
of just such a climactic 
event,
was only around the bend,
as the night progressed &
the passions built 
inside---
but the both of them,
having had more
relationships than they 
would care to remember
(all of them failed, hence
the reason for the current
state of affairs),
felt the need to prolong
the initial orgasmic 
rampage, in order to
establish a deeper
connection, in hopes that
the subsequent bond between
the both of them might 
lead to something more
substantial, than the typical
fleeting summer romance,
which the both of them knew
all too well.

problem is,
the body often gets what the
body wants,
regardless of the consequences &
so while these two were trying
to work out a deeper 
connection, one of them
varied off the path on the off-hours
to indulge in the arms of 
another,
taking with them the passion
that had been about to burst
when in the presence of the
deeper-relationship-member-to-be
&
so,
old habits showed up 
like they always do,
leaving one lonely person left
sexually frustrated &
neutralized,
sent whining & crying into the
friend zone,
never to be heard of again.
