Only for this time

''It's only for this one time, 
then it'll be over'',
she said to herself on their first date.

''Well ok, 
it's only for a few more times''
she said to herself when he came back a few days later.

''It's only 
for a few more months''
she tried to convince herself.

''What is to become of us?''
she wondered silently
as he held her tight
many many many months later.

''For life'', he had said.
''For as long as it lasts'', he had said.
Her adorable man.

''I love this man'', 
she said.

Memories of our future

Every day
you give me more reasons
to love you
even more...

As memories of our future
come flooding in....

In Heaven

''God brought us together'',
he told her.

''He opened our hearts 
so that we could accept each other's love
even though
all the odds were against us''.

She closes her eyes.
Remembers the feeling of divine trust
she felt
the first time she set eyes of him 
on their first meeting.
Or her thrill of excitement 
the first time he talked to her.
Or their first time together
her total openness
and sense of belonging.
Belonging to him.


Yes, baby,
God  brought us together.
Because such a union
is surely only made in heaven...

Relaxed

Totally relaxed,
her body more relaxed than ever
she takes a look at him,
lying on his side
and wonders
''why did life ever seemed hard
before I met you?''

Teasing

Teasing her.

Playfully, lovingly.
His way of being a child with her.
Οf making her laugh
when the joke is finally revealed.

His way of showing 
that he cares...

anything you wish for

''You are like no other woman I've ever known'',
he told her yesterday.

''You are not like other women I've known'',
he told her after their first night together.

''Why?''
''Because you are so open and so not fake 
and holding nothing back
and not trying to play a role'', 
he said.

''Ask me anything you wish for
and I'll give it to you''
he told her yesterday.

And she smiled,
because anything she could wish for,
she already had....

Him.....

Jealousy

''You going out tonight?''
she texts him on a Saturday evening.

''Yes''.

She can tell he's still a little resentful
because of what
they' ve been talking about earlier.

A familiar twinge of jealousy in her heart.
''Too far away,
too many women out there
lusting after you''....

Still brewing with resentment,
he texts back
''Yeah, why shouldn't I have a good time?''

Twinge of jealousy
becomes stinging hot pain
until..

until he texts back a short while later:
''I'm back, I'm here...''

Her thoughtful love,
not wanting her to stay unhappy
and to make up all sorts of scenarios in her mind.
Reassuring her. ''I' m here''.

Then her whole world is set to rights again
as they go on talking as usual....
