I think it was yesterday morning while I was in the shower a song came on that immediately brought a bright, beautiful visual bursting in my head. Take My Breath Away was the song. Everyone should know that is from the original Top Gun movie. And everyone should picture Maverick and Charlie in a dimly lit room, white curtains floating on the breeze coming through the open windows. You can feel the need, the want, the desire………….sigh.
I don’t care what you say, if you are or ever have been in an intimate relationship – you want to feel that way. To feel lost in the moment, to feel the love, the passion, the desire from the person standing so close to you. To feel the jolt of electricity when their hand lightly brushes your cheek. To feel their breath on your cheek before your lips meet. The light, tender brush of their lips on yours………….sigh.
The beautiful feeling of butterflies fluttering in your belly. You are ready to be open, exposed, and real with the other person. There is no thought of being embarrassed or ashamed of who you are or what you are. You feel free and light and effervescent………….sigh.
And of course, me being me, this makes me analyze everything. I am not so vain or careless to compare my life and life experiences to something that is in a movie. But don’t we all deserve that? Our own little piece of feeling all those feels. A time to forget about all the problems we shoulder. A respite from sadness and guilt. To just let go, feel love, give love, be love. Savoring every touch, memorizing every touch. Being so present in the moment that everything else fades away…………sigh.
This is the shit that gets my mind and heart in trouble……….sigh.
Love & Lies, Lies & Love
