I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you’re everything I think I need
Here on the ground
But you’re neither friend or foe
Though I can’t seem to let you go
One thing I still know
Is that you are keeping me down
From the song Gravity by Sara Braeilles
Why can’t you let me soar?

You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
Rolling Stones
We are just over a month away from Valentine’s Day. This year instead of being disappointed by all the romantic marks my Valentine does not hit on the Big Day, I am going to think about all the little things he does to demonstrate his love for me all year long. Things like changing a flat tire, lighting the pilot light on the wall heater of my new home, crawling under the foundation to check the plumbing, climbing up on the roof to fix the chimney flue, teaching me the finer points of power tools, driving me to visit my ailing parents a thousand miles away, and going along with my foreign film choices count for a lot. Maybe giving me what I need instead of what I want is the most romantic gift of all.

Not jewels, nor pride, nor spirit, nor smile, not even what is commonly called beauty, had captivated him in the unknown woman. Only the temper of her soul … the sudden sense of a bond beyond space and time was so great, that his heart, now completely awakened, grew warm in the sight of her. – Emil Ludwig from Of Life And Love
It is fascinating to discover what first attracts one to another.

If this individuality is wiped away, the creative joy that crystallized it disappears, even if no material was lost, even if no atom was destroyed. And if it is lost, it is also a loss for the entire world. It is particularly precious because it is not universal. – Rabindranath Tagore

For a moment Anne’s heart fluttered queerly and for the first time her eyes
faltered under Gilbert’s gaze and a rosy flush stained the paleness of her face.
from Anne of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery
I always have great hopes for a romantic holiday season.

Come away, come, sweet love,
The golden morning breaks,
All the earth, all the air
Of love and pleasure speaks,
Teach thine arms then to embrace,
And sweet rosy lips to kiss,
And mix our souls in mutual bliss.
(Anonymous, English)
I miss our sweet bodies intertwined.

If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation. – Anaïs Nin
