What I Want

What I want is the fairy tale and nothing less! I am looking for someone to fall in love with for the last and greatest time in my life, and then fall a little more in love with her every day for the rest of my life. Someone who will be my best friend, passionate lover, partner in crime (smile) and fellow adventurer and who will walk hand in hand with me for the rest of this crazy and exciting journey we call life. A love where, many years later we will still have much of the same smoldering passion left over from the white hot heat of our initial lovemaking. And where, twenty, even thirty years from now, we will still behave like a couple of young lovers, holding hands, kissing in public, not acting at all our age, and still having a special light in our eyes and a catch in our breath at the sight of one another much as we did when we first met.

Many may call me a dreamer, and many may say that I am indeed after a fairy tale. And I would reply that they are exactly right. Because that is my dream, I cling to it stubbornly, even though I am increasingly aware of the hand of time tick-tick-ticking away. And if my dream is a fairy tale, than so be it - I would love to live a fary tale life!

There's nothing in the world better than falling in love. To look into one another's eyes and just fall into each other while the rest of the world and time and space fade away until your whole universe becomes just the two of you caught up in that eternal moment. To kiss one another and have your knees suddenly become weak and your breath taken away. To wake up each day with a smile on your face because you have that special person in your life, and you just naturally think of something special you can do to brighten your lover's day, perhaps a poem or note of love left lying out or a bunch of handpicked flowers put in a vase, or some small something that says "I love you" and makes your heart soar as much as theirs. Quite simply, to live each day wanting nothing quite as much as making the one you love happy.

On the other hand, there is nothing sadder in this world, to me, to have a love like that, or one that even comes close, and then take that love for granted and let it slip away. Too many people let that happen and they gradually lose the magic until one day the magic is gone, and then they lose each other. Even many of the ones who do stay together lose so much of the love they once had that they become more roommates than true lovers. That is something that I never want to experience again. True love is the most precious thing we can ever have in this life and it is so rare. The older you get, the greater the odds are that you may never find it again if you let it slip away. And so I won't!

Hugs & smiles,
