When we, men, think about a woman, love, let's admit that great, passionate, satisfying, sex, lovemaking is very much on our mind. But then, what if we somewhat had it wrong, what if we were passing next to what's really important, in the long term, at least? Affection, warmth, courteousness, romance, little attentions, little, simple things (like regular little love notes, here and there, from the bottom of your heart), hugs, kisses (lots of them, sincere ones), cocooning, cuddling, snuggling. For most ladies, it seems, love has a deeper meaning than mere physical pleasure, and satisfaction, sex is much based on emotions, first of all, making love is very important, as, in such a way, two partners can express their love on the physical level. We should always keep in mind the importance of the way we do things, of emotion, passion. Love is not simply telling her "I love you!", remembering Valentine's Day, our wedding anniversary simply buying her all sorts of costly things Love is remembering, and reminding her of the first time we met, we danced a slow, we took a shower together, we made love, we had breakfast, cooked together, we went through a rough period sincerely telling her "You're good, intelligent, beautiful, feminine, sexy, desirable!", "I missed you, need you." "Thank you so much for making a better man, person of me!" telling her "You cook well! The dishes you prepare are delicious!" making her smile, laugh asking her "Why did you throw away my favorite sweater? Well, OK, it was a bit worn out, but, still… Sigh…" Baby When You Hold Me © Shelagh Bullman Published: February 2010 Baby when you hold me, my emotions make it clear, Just how much you mean to me while we are laying here, I listen to your heart-beat in rhythm with my own, With every pound that warming sound, Keeps me safe with love you've shown. Baby when you touch me, with hands so soft but strong, You wrap me in your warm embrace, just where I belong, You hold me close and comfort me all through-out the night, Until you open up your eyes to first signs of daylight. Baby when you kiss me before you start your day, The happiness you bring my heart, no words can ever say, You make my life so beautiful, wonderful, and new, You're my hopes and dreams, you're my everything, I'm so in love with you. Let Me © Randy Batiquin Published: August 26, 2018 Let me take care of your broken heart and show you how to fly. Let me hold you gently by the hand and kiss your tears goodbye. Let me lead you to tomorrow's light and out of needless rain, 'cause all I want right now is to see you smile again. Let me sing you all the songs I wrote 'til you sleep in my embrace, and I'll keep you safe and warm until the sunlight strokes your face. (…) So fly with me, my beautiful one. It's time we leave the past. I'm yours to keep, and you are mine. We're finally home at last. What if we really tried to regularly live goodness, humility, simplicity, honesty, respect, love and care, faithfulness, family orientation, communication, understanding, humanity and humanness, protection, support, playfulness, maturity, a meaningful life, meaningful sex, love? What if bringing to, giving was actually more important than taking? What if the following things were actually as important as (if not more important than) great, passionate, satisfying, sex, lovemaking with her? Lovingly taking care of her, particularly when she's sick, injured accepting to forgo, postpone sex, lovemaking, when she kindly, lovingly says to you "Not tonight, darling. Maybe next year…" accepting not to watch that baseball or football or soccer or hockey game, to go do (without too much grumbling…) some (or much…) shopping with her… honestly answering her, when she asks you "What's that magazine you're reading or those photos you're looking at (with eyes big like that…)?" as often as possible, taking care of the children, their health, baths, visits to the doctor, education, homework, parents' meetings, shopping for clothes, shoes for them as often as possible, taking care of doing a laundry, ironing clothes (not shoes… (Wink!)), of maintenance of the apartment, house, buying food at the supermarket, cooking dinner, supper (even taking care of that breakfast in bed, of those so difficult to make morning toasts, of that coffee…) generously leaving her (you've got such a big heart…) some popcorn, when watching a movie with her… as often as possible, inviting her to dance (first offering her shoes with metal caps…).
