Nights out on the town with your significant other are great for some.As for me, I do so much running around in my everyday life that I’d rather spend my down time just being still in the company of the one I love.

All I ever wanted was someone to be still with
Lazy days in the park
Under the big oak tree
In silence, the only sound
Our hearts beating in time
Clouds float by on invisible winds
And the flowers of the meadow
Sway in obedience
And the sun warms our faces
I need someone to be still with
Cozy evenings spent cuddling
On the couch, no TV
Soft music plays in the background
Fingers intertwined
While we talk in near whispers
Stopping only to graze a cheek
Or exchange a sweet and tender kiss
This to me is bliss
Who wants to get all dressed up
Drive way across town
“Dinner and a movie”, dancing and the like
When what I most desire is
Someone to be still with
