I was thinking today when Mr. Muscles mentioned that he tries everyday to be romantic, and do romantic things to keep me happy. I dont need romance everyday, just knowing I’m loved and understood for who I am, Each day to wake up and really know that he loves me because I am Meghan Rose, and I have a heart of gold and would do anything to help, love and protect him for the rest of my life. So this adds a new component, are romacnce and passion a part of love? Or is love a result of passion and romance? And the answer to this question I am still unsure of. I can tell you one thing though, I am in love, I enjoy romance and passion, but do we need them to be in love? For everyone, I am unsure. For me, yes. Passion is an aspect of my realtationship that I seek and look to, everyday. I dont need romance, roses and cards and fancy dinners or surprises all the time...or even sparatically for that matter. But passion...that look you get when you look at each other, the kiss after a long day, holding hands during a movie, the dip during a dance or while Im cooking dinner, the thank you after I do something normal that is just part of my dailt schedule. But my favorite, the look n his eyes when Im doing something I love, that locked look where i find him just staring, and I smile. The look of complete wonder, in that I see how much he loves me, adn the world stops. Even for an instant I know that we are one. And nothing will ever come between us. Its quite often followed with, “Im so in love with you” “i cant wait to have a family with you someday” or “Your’e so beautiful Meghan” I love it. The feeling is unbeatable. So no, I dont need romance, keep the flowers. But I want the passion, I want that feeling of completeness. Where even for an instant, five minutes or an hour, its just us two, together, falling in love, all over again.
