This is how you remind me

Last night, I got bored with tv and like I sometimes do, I rolled over and started drifting off to sleep. Instead of our usual spanks on the butt and "hoe down" routine, I felt you touch my back, caress my hips...I was half asleep, so I just kinda rolled back over, not sure of what you were wanting me to do. Your voice was low, deep, close to my ear, "roll back over to where you were." I don't care how silly you might think it sounds, but your voice is sexy. Many times, I will play it back in my mind over and over, just for the pleasure of hearing the tone of it.

I rolled back over. You ran your hands over my body. Even over the curves that are the very least favorite part of me. But your touch carried me away to where I didn't care about anything. You pulled me close and we were perfect spoons, your body cradling mine like puzzle pieces. My head ended up in the crook of your arm. Your face nuzzling in my hair....The moment was so tender....

When you make love to me like that, its like you are doing it because I belong to you. Like my heart and body are yours for the taking, but not like you would ever do so without really meaning it. Then this morning, as we both walked out to our cars to leave for work, you walked all the way over to me to surprise me with a kiss. I don't know how I can love you more. Just when I think there's no more room in my heart for loving you, you do something like that and show me. You show me that beyond the security of sleeping next to you, of coming home to you every day, of kissing your lips hello and kissing your lips goodbye, that there lies between us something there are no words for....that something that makes me cry when I write about us, that makes my heart fly with happiness, so high I may never come down.

You left tonight, to be with your little boy who feels like crap, who may or may not be scared, but who will surely feel better knowing dad is there. And you remind me again, how you are the best man I have ever known and will ever love in my entire life.
