Erika, my blog sis, set up a hashtag #RomanticTuesday to share all things romantic.

Today, I wanted to share a song that I absolutely love. It makes me think of my Hubby Dearest all the time, from the moment we got together. It is passionate, as well as romantic, I think.

En Vogue – Don’t Let Go

This particular verse, I always love:

“I often fantasize
The stars above are watching you
They know my heart and speak to yours
Like only lovers do
If I could wear your clothes
I’d pretend I was you and lose control
There’ll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
Oh lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking, oh yeah”

I used to always borrow his tee-shirts and jumpers! (I still do, twenty years on!)

What song do you associate with your other half? Or if you don’t have one, which song is the epitome of romance/passion to you? Tell me in the comments!

Lonely without you

Anticipate your return

Absence grows my love

The past weekend, I was left alone, with my kids, both human, feline and avian.

Hubby Dearest went away for a few days with friends. A well-deserved break after a hectic few years.

And I was reminded of a Peanuts cartoon strip I read when I was younger: “Absence makes the heart grow fonder… so I’ve packed your bags.”

It made me giggle then, and still now, and yet it holds a lot of truth.

When the one you love isn’t there with you, you feel their absence keenly. Yet when you do love someone, you need to let them go sometimes to appreciate their worth.

And I welcomed him back with open arms, and a sleepy smile ( he arrived at 1 am!) most glad to have my love back home with me.

Look What Arrived Today!
