The Quiet Side

Last night we had a date (giggle giggle). I was super excited to see him because, well because it was Thursday and that is usually the beginning of my dating week. No melt downs, by me, (always by me) and I was just more at peace with the world so I didn't really bug him too much during the week. HE stood at the door and smiled at me as I walked through. I love it when HE smiles at me. His eyes sparkle and crinkle around the edges and I feel so warm and gushy inside. I always say it must be true love because HE can still evoke that reaction in me just from something as simple as a smile.

I could tell HE was still adjusting from his work mind to his love mind as we ate fish tacos and nachos at a local dive. We talked and soaked in the cool, moist ocean night. Afterwards, HE got an icecream sundae which we ate on the way to our next stop which was a bar in the next neighborhood over. A fellow musician was playing in his jazz alternative band so we showed up to lend support. The evening was pleasant and fun and just when I wasn't looking, HE pulled me close to him and put his arm around me. Ahhhhhhh, it was heaven. I was giggly inside. Eating and bar hopping are always foreplay for us. And after we are warmed up, the real party begins!

The lovemaking is always supreme but last night was extra so! We fell asleep and for the first time all week I slept soundly.

Does HE notices when I'm quiet. Most of the time I don't even notice it but last night, I just felt quiet. My mind was quiet. My heart was quiet. It felt really good. And the world around me seemed peaceful. Was it a result of my mood or was I just noticing that it can be peaceful and happy at the same time?

The quiet side of me is a side I'm not that familiar with but one that enjoys and revels in the beauty a lot more than the usual side of me does. Maybe I'll pull that side out more often and let her go on the dates and see the shows and spend the time with him. And who knows, maybe HE will fall in love all over again.
