Pillow Talk
March 7th, 2006
the best conversations that i have take place in bed.
conversations in the car with your feet propped up and cold drinks in the cup-holders are a close second, but conversations in bed will always be my number one.
lying side by side with the best friend, lights off, gossiping late into the night until we both fall asleep without realizing it
laying my head on the platonic-male-bestfriend’s chest on a hot afternoon, our selves forming a sleepy comfortable T-shape, with me mumbling and grumbling about guy problems over Diet Coke and pizza while he listens and occasionally gives advice
during sleepovers with like 5 people on the bed, and 5 more on the floor, gossiping and jostling and snatching blankets and just a lot of laughing..
and finally, on cool nights with the air conditioning on, with the illumination of the city lights from far below and out the window being our only light .. me and him, with the sheets resting carelessly on our chests and our legs tangled. the room smelling of fresh soap from the bathroom, our cheeks still warm, and our fingers touching. facing each other, pulling close, kissing lightly, and just talking.
or whispering. finding out things about the other person that you never knew. things from their childhood, their ex-girlfriends, their high school life, their university years, their parents, their siblings, the workplace, basically their life before you walked into it. or what happened during the hours of the day that you didnt spend with them. just knowing all these things, it’s like looking at their yearbook pictures or watching them in their sleep. i love it.
for an odd reason, i hate talking across tables. it’s horrible. whenever we have dinners i usually want them to end quick so we can go back and lie in bed and talk. that’s when it all clicks together and the world around shrinks to accomodate only the both of us. discourse becomes so much sweeter when there’s no space in between. tete-a-tetes under dark blue duvets. we’re so close that i can taste his words on my lips, and he can feel that strange but comforting pulse that i have at my abdominal region. we breathe at the same pace and our hands find all the right places. it’s like being one.
sometimes conversations in bed just dont seem right with some people. when you lie in their arms it feels so disgustingly wrong. like you’re acting, and it just so turns out you’re acting opposite a person that you really cant stand in real life. but it happens anyway. and you have to put up with that gross, creepy crawly sensation in your lower back. such ugly, forced conversations with fake giggles, when i really just want to call a cab and leave. and then there are the people who equate bed with sex … like can you slow down? i cant even have a decent conversation with you and you already want to screw me?
talking in bed is the best. ever. it’s so intimate that everytime it happens, i feel so compelled to bare my soul. it’s such a vulnerable setting, and it just feels right to say whatever is at the tip of my mind. i once told my boyfriend, “i kissed him, you know. more than once. i’m sorry.” when we were lying in bed one night. he drew away from me, looked at me for the longest time, and finally asked if i had loved him, that other person. i said no. it was and still is the truth. he then kissed me on my forehead and said that was all that mattered, and that he forgave me. then we fell asleep. i have this feeling that if i had told him that while we were making dinner or reading a book, he would have completely blew up at me.
you know what, i think i’m going to make this a prerequisite for all my future boyfriends. No. 892 : Thou Shalt Be Nice To Talk To In Bed.
mmm. i would love to have pillow talk right about now. it’s such a cold and lonely night.
tracing the shadows under your eyes with my fingertips while you rub the ends of my hair. just staring at each other, enveloped by this hazy and light silence that is like a drug. tonight there is no place for bitter exchange, my moodswings, your cigarettes, wit, or even thinking. the moment seems so uncluttered, so unadulterated, but potent. as if nothing matters, yet as if the world ends tomorrow. i feel like i have to tell you everything right now, or i’ll never see you again. i almost feel like i have to tell you i love you. but let’s not ruin the moment with such formalities. i touch my lips to yours, and press my palms against your cheeks.
“hey.”
“hmmm?”
“tell me something about you, something i dont know.”
“batman is my hero.”
“no way.”
“really. ever since i was a kid. mm. your turn now.”
“i really hate your taste in ties.”
“you say strange things. but we’ll go tie-shopping during the weekend then.”
“only if i get to pick out the ties. hey. will you tell me something about you every day? anything. the little secrets that you dont usually tell people.”
“okay.”
“promise?”
“mmhmm.”
“okay. goodnight.”
“goodnight..”

*Alvin hops on your bed, bury himself within the many layers of your comforter, grabs all your pillows and…….. tunes up his ear*

I absolutely love pillow talk especially during sleepovers at my gf’s hse. You talk and talk until you don’t even know that you’ve fallen asleep. That is prolly the only time you share and spill out secrets and confide in each other.Your post is so comforting. Totally point out my exact feelings abt talking in bed. Such intimacy is priceless!
Yea..when you put the word bed and sex aligned, it inevitably killed my mood. Like hello…chill man~
Speaking of which, pillow talk DOES convey another meaning. Am I the only one with over sensitive eyes, extra knowledge or plain dirty minded?
Anyone with the exact same idea? tee hee hee:pPpPpPp

my face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
and true plain hearts doe in the faces rest,
where can we finde two better hemispheares
without sharpe North, without declining West?
whatever dyes, was not mixt equally;
if our two loves be one, or, thou and i
love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die.
isnt’t it pretty? (= this particular stanza came to mind when i read ur post.

8. sieutheng | March 7th, 2006 at 7:47 pm
hey i totally know wat u mean. i love pillow talks. especially with ur loved ones. u just keep on talking until the sun rises, and then fall asleep together. beautiful =)
9. tze | March 7th, 2006 at 9:06 pm
i get that feeling too. like there are some things u say in bed that seem to be forgiven/accepted instantly whereas if u say it somewhere/sometime else, it would b blown out of proportion.
wahhh so deep. i like =p

Whenever I drop by quaintly.net, I know I wouldn’t be disappointed… pinkpau’s posts are so genuine and so poignant… I enjoyed reading your posts and I have to say, ‘Bravo, pinkpau.. for sharing such enjoyable thoughts… Well done and keep it up, gal!”
For me, pillow talks are indisputable the highest ranking of talks among anybody. When you are having pillow talks with your loved ones or your close friends, you will be sharing what you truly feel and think. And another thing I love ’bout pillow talks is that we get to talk about anything at all and somehow, there are no boundaries to it…

waifon : yes you’re probably the only one .. :)
steph : very nice :) thanks for sharing!
abby c : yeaaaa i wish someone would tell the guys that! i swear, sex is all they ever think of.
sieutheng : but morning breath always spoils the whole thing.
tze : hehe okay i think if i ever cheat on my husband, i’m gonna tell him in bed. but i think if he ever told me he was cheating on me, i’d kill him regardless of the setting and venue.
kelly : i hear you about the no boundaries .. :) people just open up so much more when it’s dark and intimate and there’s just the both of you.
coco : mmhmm :)
bulat : the falling asleep together part is pretty cool, too .. :)
kevin : i dont get it..! anyway you will have pillow talk wan meh. you’re so teruk, i bet you’re one of those who roll right over and fall asleep or something.
