I want you. Have I told you that? I know, probably a hundred times… but it hasn’t changed. Not once in all the years we’ve known each other.
I love when we cook together. One of us pours the wine while the other starts chopping, and somehow we fall into this easy rhythm… talking, laughing, moving around each other like we’ve always belonged in that space. Whether we’re sautéing or grilling, it’s never really about the food. It’s the way we are in it together.
You pass by and swat my ass. I roll my eyes… but I’m smiling.
We sit down to eat and the conversation just unfolds. Sometimes it’s the little things, the highlights and frustrations of the day. Sometimes it’s bigger… dreams of upcoming travel, the things that stir us, challenge us, frustrate us, excite us. Nothing is off limits. I love that about us, the way we can go anywhere in a conversation and still feel completely understood.
After dinner, we soften into the evening. Maybe the couch, a show or two watched while we finish the wine. Maybe the patio, firelight flickering as the sun slips beneath the ocean, painting everything gold for just a moment before it disappears.
Those moments with you… I hold them close. Our lives are full, busy, demanding, but when we slow down together, something in me settles. My whole body exhales. I feel at home with you.
And sometimes… when you’re watching a game, I’ll climb onto your lap, straddle you just enough to pull your attention back to me. I kiss your neck, your jaw, your lips. I know better than to interrupt during playoffs… especially when one of your teams is playing. But I also know I have my ways. ;)
I love the way you respond to me. The way your hands find me without hesitation, the way everything else fades when we’re like that, close, connected, tuned into each other.
And what follows… it’s ours. That quiet intensity, that pull between us that never really fades. Even now. Especially now when I’m missing you.
Take me. Love me. Ravage me. Soothe me. Challenge me. Expand me. Meet me in every way that matters.
Let’s keep choosing each other. Keep growing, learning, deepening… day by day.
Because I know this much is true - I will never tire of you.
