It’s wanting to be swept off our feet with ooey gooey love stuff. 

Just every now and then. 

Buy me flowers. 

*because you know they make me smile* 

Ask me to go on a date, just us. 

*and don’t watch TV at the restaurant when we get there* 

Hold my hand in public. 

*like you used to* 

Kanoodle with me on the couch, even if the children are still awake. 

*it’s OK for them to see their parents kissing, even if they say, “Ewwww” and leave the room*

Love me. 

*even when I’m growling like a grizzly bear*

*because that’s when I need your lovin’ the most*

I won’t bite. 

*unless you want me to*
