Life Less Measured

On rediscovering intimacy

Thank-you for the most memorable “first date” ever and the best break-up ever and the many sleepless nights in between. Thank-you for an experience I won’t forget.

Thanks for:
giving me butterflies and making me feel like a teenager again,
getting me to join a gym, eat less butter and drink fat-free milk,
introducing me to mountain biking and getting me half-way up the mountain
waking me up in the middle of the night to be with you and then putting me back to sleep with a back tickle
giving frozen yogurt a whole new association for me
the smile you gave me everyday when I thought of you

Thank-you for making me feel so special:
when I saw you waiting for me at the airport even though I wasn’t expecting you
when you sent me a beautiful SMS at just the right time, because you knew I needed it
with the way your eyes melted into mine while sharing a kiss
on the many times you told me you missed me
and the first time you told me you loved me

But most of all, thanks for those times when you were in my arms and I felt completely at peace with the world.
For all those times we cuddled and caressed and my cares vanished and my thoughts stood still. Thank-you for the intimacy, it was truly special. I had forgotten how much fun it is to share someone’s world.
