It’s easy falling into lust
sharing moments of passion
Falling in love, though
involves the heart
and much more compassion
Striving for “forever”
isn’t always a stroll in the park
but it’s a package worth opening
to experience that spark
It’s feeling those
beautiful butterflies
dancing inside
and sharing your world
with nothing to hide
It’s knowing you are special
even with your flaws
An eternal heart
loves you just because
It’s all of these and so much more
It’s having someone to adore
through all the mess
and all the calm
to comfort through the storm

Lauren you have described the deep feeling of love and the intimacy it creates over time.
Thanks so much, Kim! In January, we’ll celebrate our 25th and I can’t believe we’ve been together that long. 🙂 It’s all good, though! Have a good night! xx
Been a long while since my butterflies all died.
Aww, Al, that is so sad, but I hope they liven up again real soon…By the way, I love your gravatar! 🙂
Thanks Lauren 🙂 No chance of that. Someone got the exterminator in.
Oh, no, I’m at a loss for words…
It’s okay 🙂 I’m fine with it
Okay…have a wonderful day and I have to catch up on your posts later! 🙂
🙂 You too. have a good rest of your day
Very sweet and lovely! It is nice to think of the possibility. Namaste, mary

This is so beautiful and so romantic! I love it, Lauren! =)
Aww..thanks, Iris, for your lovely comment. I appreciate it very much! 🙂
It does take a lot of work doesn’t it ?
After being together for awhile, both partners changing and growing, yes, it does take work..both have to do their part in keeping that flame burning, but when it does work, it’s worth it! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Joe!
I think it’s those supposed “flaws” that make you special xx Hugs
You’re probably right, Christy, but I wish I would feel that, too, when I’m noticing those darn flaws! 🙂 Hugs back, my friend xoxo
Reblogged this on Words to Love By.
Thanks again, Steve, for reblogging! I’ve always appreciated your ongoing support! 🙂
You express love so well Lauren; this flows beautifully. Lust, passion and love, three very powerful emotions that Im sure everyone has experienced along with the confusion it can all bring.

Anyone who’s in a long relationship and STILL gets those butterflies is truly blessed. 🙂
