We walk through the valleys of love through life. The romance of easy when we are young, turns into the quick hit and gone, when we are older. But that is about touching, feeling not loving. Or is it love, to pull someone against you, allowing your hands to search and your lips to wander. Is it the start of love... the saying, one has to see how you are in bed before you can commit?

Most of us, I dare say, have experienced the complete level of touch into and beyond more than a kiss. Ponder for a moment the way of romance. The tease and the way of hello, followed with mystery. Respecting each other with the desire to wait, to wait before you give of self completely. To wait until marriage, would that show true love? Imagine the night approaches, the moment you will show your depth of love by making love. Filtered between the way of mystery and the ache from the tease of the romance, the kiss like no other, the hands finding what they had not felt and bodies combining, entwined with complete trust. Is that love?

.. Love is giving, showing self and wanting to be so close to them that even as you press down into the sheets... it is not close enough .. love is the after moment of easy and fun that carries into the next decade.

.. love is to learn them, know them accept them as they are and as they grow like they accept you. Then the ultimate night of one seals the heat in the heart.

oh.. but how difficult that is now, in this time where, having sex, is expected on the first date.

Can you do it the way of old times? Wait, out of respect, out of pure love?

Lets give it a try.. and watch the night envelop your soul and float away into that river of .. love
