How do lovers treat each other?
Lovers kiss.
Lovers surprise each other.
Lovers go out of their way to do small nice things for each other.
Lovers don't necessarily see each other every day.
Lovers...have special dates that mean something. Dates that can be short or long. They have quickies but also take trips together.
Lovers do not consider each other one another's property...[This needs more exploring.]
Lovers are enthusiastic, even sometimes fanatical, foolish and freakish, according to Merriam-Webster.
Lovers don't talk about who does the dishes. They just do them, lovingly. Or maybe they don't even have dishes to do.
Likewise, lovers don't do taxes together. They do those themselves, on their own, and don't complain to each other about it.
Lovers, in fact, do all the boring things away from each other on their own time, so that when they are together, it's just about love.
Lovers know life is very, very short, that there is no time to waste. That their time together is precious.
What if...Two people who have been married for a long time decide to be lovers? What would that mean? Is it possible?

Don't you mean, decide to be lovers again?
ReplyDeleteYes, Anonymous. It does mean decide to be lovers again. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteKim - I'm finding that over many years, during which we had a 2-1/2 split, I am more in love with my husband than ever. It's comforting when we pass each other in the house we touch fingers like "ET," there's a spontaneous grab here and there - and the time we have is precious.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, your story is heartwarming. Thank you. Taking a leap of faith into the unknown opens up so many possibilities.
