Just breathe

I want the kind of love that is love, even when there is nothing. I want the kind of person who appreciates my seemingly boring day to day, as much as they appreciate the exciting occasions too. That kind of love is exciting to me.

I want the kind of love where you can be in complete silence and be completely comforatable. You know, that soft quiet love.

I want the kind of love that all his friends talk about. Friends: "Man, you've got the greatest wife in the world. How'd you do it?" Him: "She's a gift from God. I can't explain it any other way."

I want holding hands, smiling at one another from across the dinner table when one of the kids says something cute. Then falling asleep on the couch in his arms while watching the news.

It's not like I'm asking for a great romance. I don't need trips to Tuscany, Paris, or Bali. I don't need diamonds, gold and pearls. Just simplicity.....there's greatness in simplicity. It's like breathing, such a simple, pure act...but it does so much.

Just breathe.
