When you lay your guard down
Turn off all the lights
It comes and stings you
It takes time before you realise
The itch has captured you
It wouldn’t let you sleep in peace
You get up from your bed
Turn on the lights
Vainly look for the perpetrator
Disappointed, you get back in your bed
After the lights are turned off again
You promise yourself to take better precautions the next time
You lie awake
Thoughts circling your head
One hand scratching the itch
You begin to enjoy the itch
The stimulus grips you
You know it’s not right for you, but you secretly wish for more
Love Is A Mosquito

Clever analogy, Frank. As the Everly Bros once sang: ‘Love hurts’, although you’re likening it more to an irresistible itch!

I feel bad about not knowing Everly Bros. Must catch up.

That is no excuse because that’s when all the good music rolled. Dylan, Beatles, Buddy Holly, and more. In fact I am named after one of them: Sinatra.
