Replying to a comment on:

she wonders, (Other) by <~>

would he hold her through the night? will he spoon her? and, if he might do those things she loves so much: wake her gently, a kiss, a touch softly, slowly, without a sound until, in her, himself had drowned so that they two, their limbs entwined all other thoughts left far behind could in the night go to that place that lovers find when they embrace she wonders, will he take her there? might he do it? will he dare? she wonders.

Maybe he'll opt-out for dignity, or maybe he'll realize he might not get another chance for a while. A bird in the bed is better then 2 in the bar. Take it while you can... that's my motto. I enjoy the representation of a femme waiting for the man to make a move. I suppose that has something to do with dignity too. But my head tells me it's got more to do with gender roles and good girl ethics. Both are still prevelant out there, so that makes this poem valuable. 6/10
