My personal take on the little things to consider.. With my lover

Touch

Silence,

Comfort [rest]

Consideration

Touch; to hold you in my arms

To feel your heart beat in warm embrace

To study every inch of your body and take in every detail, every curve and every scar. Seeing beauty in every part of your lovers l body.

To breathe in your fragrance and keep your essense

And for the nights when the tremors of pain and panic overwhelm us, we know we'll have each other,

Through the tears and the torture,

To feel my honest intentions whenever we make contact

To hold hands in public, and the gentle squeeze whenever I'm dissociating

To have your legs across my chest and to have my head across your legs.

Silence; Existing together, saying nothing but enjoying each others company, without pressure and the overwhelming need to always put up some form of "entertainment", having the luxury of being bored and happy together, to find love in boredom and in the mundane, to enjoy ordinary days as much as we enjoy days of occasion. To be happy doing chores/errands together.

Loving the mere presence of each other.

Comfort [Rest]; To not be burned by "duty", to have lazy days, to know you can breathe and breathe safely with & around your partner.

To have a haven you can run to when the outside world rages with chaos, to have a place you share your feelings without judgement,

A place where you can always run to sleep.

Consideration; To have you in mind at every moment, finding ways to make your life easier as you do mine.

Giving space for rest and comfort

A home for acts of service- a warm meal, a hot bath, folding laundry, peeling oranges, sharing a warm blanket.

A thoughtful purchase - a piece of jewellery they'll love, a blanket for the weather

To be intentional with words; of affirmation, in disagreements and with reassurance.

To choose to love above all else, intentionally and without fear, always taking into account the feelings of your partner as priority.
