Lightening It Up

So, it's been pretty thick here. There's still plenty of shit to delve into, but I thought perhaps you might like a peak at what I'd really love in a lover. Without further ado, I give you a list of things I'd love my ideal man to say (because we can dream in distress, right?).

I can't wait to go to your poetry reading on Tuesday.

You're not just any goddess; you're MY goddess.

I love you. For you. For your depth, your soul, your humor, your sarcasm, your strengths, your flaws.

Hey! Shakespeare in the Park is a month from this Saturday! Let's take Ellie and make a day of it.

Let's go grab some coffee and talk - just the two of us.

Wanna be an exhibitionist and make love in the bookstore?

Ferlinghetti is my hero, too.

What do you want me to read to you before we go to bed - Kerouac, Milton, Donne, or Blake? I know you love all of them.

(at the first kiss of foreplay) Let me take my time and do this right.

(WARNING NC-17 rated : an hour later) Baby, I want to come with you this time.

Your body is amazing. You carried and sustained a life for almost three years. How could I not love it?

Season tickets to The Rep? AWESOME!

Of course you can have the entire weekend to yourself.

I miss you.

Your happiness means so much to me.

Your sorrows are my sorrows.

You don't have to be the strong one all of the time.

Let me hold you.

There's a book that your post reminds me of... its called "Porn for Women" and it has pics of men doing household things like taking out the garbage with little sayings like "As long as I have legs to walk on, you'll never have to take out the garbage." Amazon has it. Quite hilarious!

It reminds me of Porn for Women, too! Also, I think a guy who actually said these things would be kind of icky. Like one of those Saturday Night Live spoofs of an overly sensitive man.

1st: I could totally see that.
