Chapter two, “The small lows pale in comparison to the high heights of our good times” as you explain challenges may attempt to interfere but nothing can come between our love and life long commitment to be supportive in our victories and comforting in our defeats. We understood that when God gets busy, the devil gets anxious.

Chapter three, “As I lay here on my death bed” with the enormous love from our great-great grand children surrounding me in this year 2084 I tell them this story of the greatest love ever. I reminisce about how I always joked with her that I’d outlive her. She died a short while ago. But when she did I had a sky window placed above our bed so that she can look down upon me with protection while I rest. Sometimes in the middle of the night when the moonlight is just right I can see her perched on a cloud as if it were the hand of God, looking down from the heavens with arms stretched out for me. I comfort her with “Soon baby, soon we will be together again”. From our prior lives, to this life, and on to the next one, we will be together forever, this is what soulmates do.

Remember the simple things

You make a left, a right and get on the freeway and speed, I race to keep pace.  I catch up and pull up beside you, you look over at me and with no expression you turn back towards the road.  You exit after 6 miles.  You pull into the Ritz Carlton.  As you exit your car, I pass you to find a parking spot close to yours. You look at me with the same look as if I’m an insignificant stranger.  I park and rush to the lobby.  I see you grab a key from the front desk and jump in an elevator.  I run across the huge lobby to catch the elevator doors.  You watch me run towards you as you let the elevator doors close on my fingers.

I watch the elevator lights to see where you may have gotten off as I frantically push the elevator call button over and over.  24^th floor. I push close door button when inside the elevator. 24, 24, 24, 24.  As the doors open I squeeze out before they can fully open.  I look left, right to find you. I hear a door close to my right.  I’m not sure which door it was but I walk up to the first one and listen for an indication.  I hear two women talking.  I slide to the next door, I listen.  Nothing, so I knock softly out of nervousness.  I see a shadow under the door and I can tell that someone is peaking through the peep hole. I try to compose myself as the butterflies’ frantically circle in my stomach.  

The shadow walks away from the door. I am crushed.  I stand and think, what to do next, what to do next? I see the shadow reappear. I tense up again.  I listen closely and notice a shower on.  The shadow disappears again.  As I put my head against the door in utter confused emotions, I see that the person on the other side of the door had slid the key card under the door and it rests right under my toes.  I slowly bend down and pick up the key card.  I take a moment to feel my excitement, contain them and relax.  I place the key at the slide slot on the door.  I pause as I try to imagine what wonderfulness I may find on the other side of this door.  I almost get cold feet and doubt if I will be all that I dreamed of.  I know you will exceed my expectation, but I want to be so good to you, for you and in you.

I slide the key, the light turns green and I twist the door knob and push it just to a crack.  I take a deep breath and open the door slowly.  I open it just in time to see your naked sexiness walk into the bathroom.  You swing the bathroom door to a crack.  I see your beautiful reflection in the mirror walk towards the shower.  I enter and lock the door behind me.  I immediately undress and neatly place my clothes on a chair.  Now partially erect and overly excited that I know that you want me almost as much as I want you to want me, I walk into the bathroom.  As you sud your body up, I pause just to stare at your long sexy body art.  Now I’m fully at attention and I can tell that your eyes first acknowledge my presence and you are very pleased as you bite your lip and invitingly open the shower door for me.

Fully lathering each others bodies and rinsing each others glistening bodies, we move to the King sized bed just in time to admire the sunset over the distant mountains through the high rise window.  The orange light creates a nostalgia and a connection that can be felt and seen between our bodies as we sit on the bed lotioning each other gently and seductively.  The sunset last for hours as we make all time stand still.  We gaze at the lights sparkle across the city.  You sit between my legs with your hands behind your back.  I’m sitting behind you and massage your back and take nibbles of your neck and ears. You turn and whisper in my ear “I’m so fortunate to have a husband like you”.

As you leave out of town on business, take a bunch of post-it notes and place them all over the house.  On her computer, in her car, under the covers on her pillow, on the toothpaste, on the back of the bathroom tissue, give one to her assistant at work to place the on her desk two days after you leave. Give one to your neighbor to put on your front door when she’s at work.

It is easy to love. It is easy to find someone to love you.  It is hard to find someone you love, who loves you.  Mutual love is possible, but sometimes it feels impossible to find mutual, deserving and ready love.
