Her big floppy hat almost completely covered one eye and seemed to provide some protection from the outside world to her. Her day had been filled with multiple incidents and her head pounded as she waited for HIM….all she needed was HIM…all she could think of was HIM…..as her mind returned to the days events…..
How many times must one „girl“ be saved in a single 24 hour period? It all started SO early in the day. Strange phone calls…almost in the middle of the night…reminding me of a life almost forgotten, fear creeping into the dark recesses of my mind followed by his friend, paranoia. Why is it, that when you put yourself out there for the whole world to see, you suddenly become surprised when someone looks? I am still sorry love, for having bothered you with the whole thing, but as my mind panicked, there was only one thing I could think of….you. And as usual, you quieted all my silly fears and reminded me of how much you love me.
And just about the time I moved past that, I realized it was indeed time to go to the dentist…AGAIN….and this time it would hurt. And it did…but you brought to my remembrance that your spirit NEVER leaves me, as I listened to the music you gave me…and let my mind wander to the land of dreams yet to come. As I allowed myself to think of the many dreams we still have to experience, it quelled my fears and steadied my hand. When it was all said and done…my first thought was of you and how fast I could get to you, feeling your loving arms wrap around me. It was YOU that kissed my head, trying to FORCE my headache to leave and reminded me that the tooth pain was just for a moment….and would soon be good as new.
When you saw my feathers ruffled and my temper flare, you never once told me how silly I was being or how I should have taken the „high road“. Instead you chose to hold me in your arms and listen to my sad tale, laughing at the funny parts and supporting me in my ire, helping me to understand those around me and letting me work it out in my own way. And as I lay there in your arms making fun of your blue pajamas and SLAUGHTERING your native tongue, you just laughed at me, and taught me, and held me close.
When the bell of the clock began to toll and we looked once again at the time we had been allotted slipping thru our fingers, it was YOU who rocked me and loved me, gently coercing me to tell you my wildest desires, driving me to new heights of passion as we once again partook of each another. And as I laid there, feeling my insecurities start to mount, that excitement within me start to build as I thought off all the things that COULD be…it was your gentle breathing that calmed my spirit and whispered to my soul „It will be alright!“
How many „hats“ must one man wear? You are my confidant, my friend, my lover, my security. You are my provider, my caretaker, my counselor and my partner. You will always be my husband, my king, my creator and my lord…and today….multiple times you were my rescuer. What a lucky „girl“ am I! I will forever be your personal…:)….slave…..D
