The important things..

Tell me, people, what is it that is the most important thing about a significant other?


Is it the way he looks?

Is it the way he looks at you?

Is it the feeling you get when you hear his voice?

Is it the way his hand feels as it rests gently on your shoulder?

Is it that feeling in the pit of your stomach each time you meet?

Is it the fact that he thinks you're wonderful?

Is it the fact that you can talk to him for hours without noticing the time?

Is it that he can be who he really is with you, with no need for pretence?

Is it the way he makes you laugh?

Is it the way he stops you wanting to cry?

Is it the way he lets out the tiniest but hottest whimper of arousal?

Is it the fact that he thinks you're beautiful?

Is it that he understands the way you think?

Is it the way he breathes your name as he reaches the point of no return?

Is it how he can be your friend, your lover, your confidante... your soul mate... all at once?

Yes... I guess it is...

All of the above.
