Someone whose happiness means as much, if not more than your own. Someone to place your trust in without fear of betrayal, not having to worry when you are apart, because you are secure in the knowledge that they will honor the love you share. Someone to hopefully grow old beside, to share the winter of life with, while recalling the summer of your dreams. A lover is someone who, with a look, can touch your heart, ease your mind and bring comfort to your soul. Someone whose voice is music to your ear. Someone who by just entering a room makes your heart soar and joy fill your being, makes you want to touch them, be close to them. Who can turn your blood to molten fire with desire, their presence being food for your soul. Someone for whom your love grows stronger not weaker with the passing years. Someone who is willing to talk out problems and share concerns, not look for an easy way out if all does not go just as expected. Someone willing to share difficulties as well as good times. Someone to walk through those difficult times with. Someone willing to share all things with tenderness, passion, warmth, dreams and desires, laughter and tears but mostly life's journey. A casually dropped piece of clothing can bring your love to mind as the scent of them clings, and turns your thoughts to love, as pleasant memories collect to be reviewed at leisure.
