Dear Friend,

As I write this I sit just an arm's length away from you. Your attention is focused on the neverending tasks that combine to form your job. I resist a tremendous temptation to reach across the desk and softly stroke your face, to kiss you slowly and gently to help you wind down your day.

The normally chaotic noises of the office are slowly turning into the muted sounds of humans putting away the responsibilities of work and heading home. This provides the background to my thoughts of you. These are not thoughts of frantic loving or fun at the club. These are quiet thoughts of sharing a bath, of giving a backrub, of enjoying a peaceful moment with a friend.

Although your day seemed to have been hectic and far from easy, it is now fading to an evening in which you can, hopefully, find relaxation, rejuvenation for the body and the mind. Take time for yourself tonite. Relax and enjoy.

Bn.
