what love is like

She tried to explain her love to him one day.  She said her love for him was like peeing in a public  bathroom that is completely dark, and he is in the stall with her except they can't see each other at all, just faint auras of color moving somewhere before their eyes.  They could feel each other breathing, smell arm hairs brushing against bent knees, hear the moment before the pee collided with the toilet bowl water, a slight hissing sound and then the payoff.  She thought she would feel embarrassed at first, but then she started to embrace surrounding darkness and threw her arms up in the air triumphantly as she peed, victorious in being comfortable with him there in the public darkness of their love.
