There's beauty in the breakdown... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Falling in Love (Again) I've heard the expression a million times, but I don't think I ever really understood it until tonight. I fell in love with him all over again. We were standing in front of the mirror in his entry hall. From the stereo in the living room, Norah Jones played. We were close tonight, closer than we have been in awhile. We danced together like two people just falling in love. We made eyes at each other and held hands through dinner. I haven't held his hand like that since the first two months we got together. It's been over a year, and it makes me giddy that we are still like that. I feel like we have been together forever. But, that's not the reality. Anyhow, we were standing in the entry, talking and dancing. It was intimate, it was real. Suddenly, I turned around and looked in the mirror. He stood behind me, encircling my waist. And as we looked into each other's eyes in the mirror, I felt complete. An odd sensation, but I felt it. That wasn't what got me though. As if he could read my mind, he smiled at me. We just leaned into each other and listened to the music. There was no words necessary, just the warmth of being together. It was movie perfect. Finally, he leaned over, and he kissed me. Not on one of the usual places--the neck, the lips, the cheek. Instead, he laid a soft kiss on the top of my shoulder. And another on the back of my shoulder blade. It was soft and gentle...it was perfect. That is how I fell in love with my boyfriend all over again. 11:31 PM - 06.14.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
