Getting back to being friends

I've noticed something positive in my talks with B lately, say the last week or so. The friend part of our interactions is coming back. What I mean is that we're having more talks where we really talk as friends about all kinds of things instead of spending all our time talking about our relationship (which is always started by me).

I like it. It brings back good feelings.

It's reminiscent of our lost night and weekend talks. Yes, those talks were frequently a large part sex talk, but not always. It was never a given that we'd phone fuck during those talks, but it was a given that we'd talk and have conversation and just enjoy the time we could spend together. It's hard to explain how much those conversations meant to me. I've never been much of a talker - mostly coz I never really felt I had much to say. I always preferred to listen, and only interject when I had something to add. Not with B though. Our conversations have always been easy, always been natural. Sure, I miss our sex times, but I really, really miss our big blocks of talk time.

We've been consciously trying to get away from so much relationship talk. Well, truthfully, she's been trying to get me away from it, as it's been heavy on my mind for a long time and I've been pulling all our talks back to that for some time now. The thing to remember about our relationship is that above all, we're friends. We like each other, find each other interesting and engaging, and for many reasons, we get something from the other that we don't seem to get anywhere else. So, with some success, we've been making our way back to the types of conversations that got us to know each other so well.
