Realising that the one place that you feel the most ‘you’ is when you are lying next to her just breathing.

I loved this.
It made me want to weep when he enunciated the words that so described how I feel about my relationship with Ruf.
And the glory of knowing that he feels the same.
That everything is worth it, just for those few hours of lying beside the other, naked… but so not alone.
We don’t even need to touch.
Just the mental knowledge that our skin is just centimetres apart is enough.
In the middle of the night, the sound of that breath punctuating the silent darkness.
Senses perceiving a connection that cannot be seen but is so strong it can cover a distance of a hundred miles or a fraction of a millimetre.
This is love.
I’m LONGING for that place, again. The “Aloneness” is starting to set in
Softboy has been saying that same thing. He wants to be that close with someone and it’s not about sex. I’m sure you will be x
These little things, and so much more. It is there, and is available, and it is up to the heart to be open and listening for it.
Yes, I think that’s it. Allowing yourself to let it happen, rather than getting fixated upon the sweaty stuff :)
Oh, I loved this. I have to send this to a special someone. Thanks so much for posting it.
Hey Elizabeth, you’re welcome. I hope it is well received :)
After nearly twenty years of marriage, it still all boils down to this. Lovely . . .
I wish I had still felt this way after 20 years together. You have my admiration x
