And I'll Say What About Breakfast At Tiffany's?

It starts with a butterfly flapping it's soft dusty wings all through your intestines until you feel like your going to burst inside from excitement and anxiety. No relaxation comes until your eyes meet his, till your hand touches his, till your lips touch his, till your heart touches his. Till you have officially sunk your claws in and can finally fly him away to your nest where paradise awaits and that's exactly what it is. His embrace is all you're yearning for after a day bombarded with phone calls, complaining, day dreaming, and back ache. A day you would have much rather spent getting your nails did, hair did, feet did, everything did. But you didn't and all that stress built up right between your shoulder blades fades away with one strong & warm embrace from your knight in shining armor.

You have a love others can only dream of. A love that many pretend to have but when times prove tough their love proves transparent. A love that can't be defined in one single love song played on the radio but instead an ocean of songs that characterize every motion your bond endures. You finish each others sentences, can make each other laugh with just a glance, know what to say to lift each others spirits and know what to say to crush their soul. Know how to annoy them with a single word, push their buttons until they're jammed, caress their being with a cuddle.

Other forces may come and disturb your tranquility in the form of people, family, money, kids, t.v. shows, movies, alcohol, drugs, cars, bills, to the point where you feel like you may never recover but you always do. After all is it their fault that their family is crazy, rude, impulsive, quick with the tongue slow with the brain, inconsiderate and disrespectful? The truth might be said about your own family as well. Or can they help the fact that some of their friends carry these same qualities? Or that sometimes when these subjects are discussed your babe has these behaviors as well?

Sometimes there is no dodging these circumstances. As much as you wish them away you can bet your bottom dollar they will be back time and time again. You begin to question why you are even in this relationship in the first place. No matter the part the kids might have in keeping you guys together, you know deep down that isn't even half the reason you stay united.

And every once in a while when storms are calm, chaos level is minimal and stress has dwindled down to a tolerable level you flash back to that butterfly. That innocently pure, excitedly calm monarch that would visit you as soon as his face would creep in your thoughts. With her soft wings brushing every surface of your stomach causing ripples through your chest helping you to remember your passion and love. Not all is lost in these folds of life. He is your home base as you are for him. Growing together and never apart, every calamity making your combination fiercer and more indestructible erasing any previous doubts.

And I'll say, 'Well that's the one thing we've got!'
