In which case, you really *can't* get possessive of them.
Quote:I see a relationship and physical intimacy as something that is between the two of us. It is something we share, so there is safety and security in that promise of monogamy. And, by saying intimate, I'm not talking about friendship intimate.
We've found the reasons... and they have a lot less to do with jealousy than caution and insecurity.
I have many different friendships, some are closer than others... some are close enough that you might consider them lovers, but they remain simply friends in my eyes. 'Friendship intimate' has such a wide range to me as to be largely meaningless
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
