I'm quite romantic, and so I love lying in bed wrapped up with my boyfriend - that is as important to me as sex to be honest, as I predict sex in ANY relationship becoming progressively less varied (although not necessarily any less romantic or personal an experience if you're with the right person) ... but there is no reason for me not to be found lying entwined with my lover in the wee small hours of the morning.
I remember not long after we started going out I woke up randomly at about 3am, and I hadn't realised Martyn had too ... so I just shifted my position slightly in bed and sighed and started to go back to sleep, when he slid one hand under my neck (EVER so gently), and his other hand over my hip, and drew me back across the bed, wrapping me in his arms as I came back towards him, and whispered "Mmmmmmmm my baby" into my ear as he buried his head in the crook of my neck ...
Love, for me, isn't anything extravagant or flash ... it's that calm, quiet warmth that radiates from within from things like that ... the power of love, being the most powerful force I have ever encountered in this life.
Love rocks :biggrin:, and I love you all .
!?!?! Shadow !?!?!
it's always heartwarming to see genuine feelings like those you portrayed within the simple gestures that make up such a deep level of intimacy... makes me hope i'll find that again too! had something close to this about 5 months ago, but even then i was not completely comfortable. long story.
thank you for that wonderful image. i am so happy for you two!
