Forced Intimacy

He unloads the dishes.

She folds their clothes.

He brings her flowers.

She leaves chocolates on his pillow.

He brings her coffee.

She sends him texts throughout the day.

They sleep together.

They look good together.

They want the same things.

But...

He doesn't hold her hand underneath the table.

She is distracted when they watch TV together.

He plays with his phone while she talks.

She doesn't tell him that she's mad.

He doesn't tell her that he's sad.

She forgets to kiss him.

He doesn't mind sitting apart from her.

She is afraid of leaving him.

They can hear the sound of their forks hitting their plates.

They sleep together.

They look good together.

They want the same things...
