Of course I recognized you...
I just had to go away, get away... from you! I think you know that, and don't need to ask why.
You were a whirlwind that blew into my life, picked me up off the ground, spun me around until I was senseless, other than all the feelings I had towards you, feelings you cultivated in me. I awoke that next morning, the one after our... I don't even know what to call it, our last 'date', 'meeting', or would you call it a 'session'?.
I simply awoke up unnerved, lost in the sense of not knowing who I was, what I was becoming, where it would lead. I was afraid I was going to lose myself. All I knew was that you were the calm neutral center of my crazy emotional storm. I wanted the whirling to stop even as I wished it would go on forever. I wished that you would go on forever. I wished that we could continue down this path, together, forever.
Lost, god, the word doesn't nearly describe the roiling of emotions raging inside of me. I was frightened, and felt I needed to ... to ... to escape and gather myself, regain my bearings. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry to leave you that way. I'm sorry to leave things unfinished between us. Most of all, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Please understand I never would have left if I could have seen any other way. Never would have left if I hadn't panicked.
From that first kiss, feeling those tongue rings slip between my lips and wrestle their way into my psyche - I wanted you, needed you, desperately. I wanted what I thought I had always wanted: to take you, to make love to you, with you, to be the lover that would win you and keep you. I took that first step, letting you have control, with just that in mind - but then you took control of my mind and never let it go!
