Weekly Photo Challenge: Kiss

This is my first attempt at the Weekly Photo Challenge. I thought this would be an easy one, but was I wrong! Choosing a photo of a kiss proved to be more difficult than I had imagined.

I didn’t want to share a “typical” kiss. I wanted to show a moment of closeness and intimacy that a kiss promises. The thrill and flutter, the delectable shivers one feels when lips touch flesh. A private moment that makes the world go away.

Oh, when you kiss me
I know you miss me
and when you’re with me
The world just goes away
The way you hold me
The way you show me
That you adore me
Oh, when you kiss me

Crazy Little Thing

It’s Valentine’s Day. The one day of the year when you’re meant to express your love to your significant other (at least according to Hallmark and FTD).

I’m not a big believer in Valentine’s Day. In my mind, if you care about someone, you show them every day. But since it’s here, I thought I would take the opportunity to write about the special man in my life. I would have gotten around to it eventually, but why wait?

I titled this post “Crazy Little Thing” because that’s probably the best description of our relationship. Crazy, silly, fun-loving. If you’re in Second Life and check out my profile picks, you’ll find this under My Shining Star:

Cupcakes, bacon and a giant green moth…who knew they would steal my heart? You gave me back my joy, my favourite Polebarkian ♥

It probably doesn’t make much sense to you, and that’s ok. Those little inside jokes that two people share are the glue that bind them together. He “gets” me and I “get” him. To the point that we have a space at our Second Life home that represents his head (which I seem to constantly inhabit).

I’m not going to wax lyrical about the two of us. I’m not going to pour out my heart about how I feel about him. I’m just going to post a couple of photos that show us and that crazy little thing…

Longing

He’s there…but just out of reach. A whisper in the night, laughter floating on the breeze. A smile that touches your lips when he fleetingly crosses your mind.

Waiting patiently, longing to be in his arms, knowing you’re in his heart – that thought comforting you, but only for so long.

You close your eyes, and you’re there. His warmth enveloping you, filling you with a sense of completeness. And sunshine once again floods your soul.
