Hallway Kisses
You know when you meet someone you want to date and you have that excitement in the pit of your stomach, when just the thought of them fills your mind and makes you smile? It's been like that around our home lately.
Passionate kisses in the hallway when YMV isn't around. The sexy smacks and pinches in the hallway as we pass. Quick make-out sessions to avoid hearing the "EWWWW" when we get caught. The air charged with some magic that makes us act like we used to when we first got married.
Naughty text messages reminding us both of what we used to be - no, that's not quite it. What we are to each other. It's as if that conversation last week, the one about wanting more passion in our life, about passion, music, missing that exuberance for life, unlocked something deep inside both of us.
Many, many years ago, this beautiful girl and I had an incredible moment. As the evening went on. I remember her face and shining eyes looking into mine saying "Say Yes..." I can still hear her voice in my head and feel the magic of that moment even this many years later.
I wonder if really that's what it's all about, saying yes without thinking too much about everything, of the dishes that need the be washed, the clothes needing to be folded or the garden needing to be weeded. Instead giving yourself over to the passion of the moment. Finding the joy, the zest for life, saying "fuck it" and going with the magic, even if it's for a stolen moment in the hallway.
We head off to Turks and Caicos for a family vacation in a week. We rented a beach house with both pool and ocean access. I think some adult play time is in order. I may have to dust off the blindfold and bring some rope.
