the po~et (defining phrases)

To be a fool is one thing but to knowingly be one is quite different. Jack had grown weary of the game. She called it that because the whole "non-relationship" she had with Paul was strategical. Who would make the next move? What would it all mean? At first, she admitted it was flattering, but now she was frustrated. Patience never was an attribute she possessed or even made a conscious effort to aspire to have. But mostly her frustration was due to the lack of physical contact. To have sexual exploits in theory only doesn't exactly define affair. There are those who would disagree. She imagined those lovers who frantically rummaged through one anothers privacy would think otherwise. She had to admit the entire "relationship" made her view the subject differently, made her question the validity in promises made later to be broken. Somehow internally you know it is impossible to keep. Who has knowledge of how they will feel twenty years down the stream when the air seems different, when the definitions change.
