I just drone through the day, minding my own business. I take showers, wash the dishes, fold some laundry, run a few errands; the same old daily circle. Then you cross my mind, and my world explodes with a brilliant light. I can feel the familiar warmth and I know, if anyone was around, they would see the unmistakable glow. It spreads through me and cuddles my heart like a warm blanket shielding me from the cold. On it spreads, and my shoulders lift, my toes curl, and my hands instinctively clench to hold onto the feeling. I close my eyes to give you my full concentration and I can feel my lips stretching wide across my face. The biggest smile I’ve ever smiled grows bigger with every step you take until I feel myself inhale deeply in response to your gentle embrace. The warm blanket tingles and tickles as I revel in its magnificent protection. I can feel you, smell you, see you, hear you and know you are here. As I bask in the intoxicating scene a rush of cold comes flooding in and you are gone. I can feel my comforter being ripped away. It leaves the way it comes as the river winds through me, suffocating the remaining embers. My shoulders give way, my toes become limp, and my hands instinctively clench to fight the feeling. I open my eyes to face reality and I can feel the swell rising to choke me before surging on to my eyes where it finally falls. A few tears escape before I close my eyes, clear my throat, and take a deep breath. I need to reach the bank before close of business... That's how I know that I love him.
