When we first see a good looking man we do, indeed, think about how he would be in bed…and THEN we go into our fantasy world(thinking of marriage, kids, etc…). We will pick fights when things are perfect sometimes just to see how much you care. We are...

a dream deferred
What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up  like a raisin in the sun?  Or fester like a sore—  And then run?  Does it stink like rotten meat?  Or crust and sugar over—  like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags  like a heavy load. Or does it explode? -Langston Hughes
