I Wish That I Could Sleep In Your Arms Tonight

When we think about sleeping with the one we love, most of us have something like this in mind


with him wrapping her in his arms and keeping her safe.

But there is something magical about a man who allows his more vulnerable side show when he's with his woman, something magical about the way he feels secure enough in her love to abandon himself to her instead






I was struck by the one thing two of those last three images have in common: the look of infinite tenderness on her face....

I love the romantic side of you, and yes, that surrender and trust between two people who love each other is beautiful, especially when a strong man feels safe to let go. I like the second and third image. I get too hot to sleep wrapped up with someone in bed, and I can't breathe. I have to move away or push them away if they're too close. I'm sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere. ;)

I'm not much of a cuddler, snuggler or spooner. I like my space. I enjoy touching though, holding hands, being near each other. I used to love the feel of the man I love's hand on the small of my back when we were out somewhere. It's a bit ruined for me now because my husband used to do it as his attempt to hurry me up when getting ready to go out, and it would irritate me, lol. He doesn't do it anymore. ;)

Lovely, I can only sleep with someone touching me ever so lightly/
a full on embrace no, that suffocating feeling sets in

I enjoy cuddling more on the couch on rainy afternoon...in bed's okay, but I need room for sleeping... I tend to take up a bit of space....

@Dia and @ COI - my wingspan is wider than my height by a couple inches *holds arms open* - plenty of safety and 💗 available here, girls.

Ugh, I'd hate to be hurried up that way as well. I know you're not a cuddles, but I can be with the right man.

I can't sleep unless I have my space, but I'm not averse to a good cuddle before 😘
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
Well, I suppose with the right man we'd be many things...
AlienZipper · 61-69, M
A soft embrace at the right time with the right person... hmmm
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
Kindred spirits, A-Z. :)

Mm yes. Love this.
When he allows you to nurture and soothe his aches. To me it speaks of love and trust. Deep bonding.

But I can't sleep like that, lol. It's yummy before though. :-)

The one thing they all have in common is the obvious love between the two partners. We all need the safety of that embrace from the one we love, some nights that need is stronger.

All you passionate people and not one is ok sleeping cuddled ?? Hmmm ...

I love it, as long as temps are comfortable, Too hot or too many covers and I can't sleep that way either.

Came back to look at the images again. I love your words, but something about the images called to me tonight. I must be getting soft in my old age. ;)

I'm all for intense activity and a little cuddling after, but I can't sleep that way...now if you want to wake me up.... ;-)

Hello. I like your posts. :) Check out my story posts. Maybe the regard will be mutual.
diablesse · 56-60, F
Narelle, there seems to be a consensus when it comes to needing space to sleep.

Loved the tenderness. Last pic reminded me of 'On Golden Pond'.
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
You are so wise. Yes, exactly. Feeling that tonight.
AlienZipper · 61-69, M
Kindred spirits... such a nice phrase...

*snuggles into 4ever's embrace*
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
@4ever: Thank you. I'd love that hug.
Magenta · F
Aah, I see now. :-)
diablesse · 56-60, F
4ever: How about cuddling under the covers on a cold night after some intense activity and drifting off to sleep still wrapped in each other?
