Distant Lovers

Dear Dick,

It is a sad realization for me that we are very distant. In the words of Rasheeda, "I'm here, but I'm not here...I got to (gotdangit) do e'rything." (sigh) I could really use your help these days, Dick. I feel so far away from you right now that I'm not even yearning. That's a lie - but really it is taking more to think of you and be turned on by just the thought. I know this is just a phase that we go through from time to time. Communication is a major key to a lasting relationship, so I just want you to know how I feel. I know that you don't always care to hear what I'm thinking or feeling; you'd rather bury your head somewhere deep and dark, but it's crucial so that you don't wonder why I turn away from you when you are standing in my face, rather than opening up and receiving you. You want me to care about your complaints and concerns. WHAT ABOUT MY NEEDS? I know how to get you up, easily. I need you, while you're down, to think about what you want from me to keep you up, and give me that. I want my ego stroked and my love buttons pushed, too, without having to solicit myself. DICK!!! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?

Love,
Me
