WAW Using God II

[pigskin]

Made a strong move in the fight for my wife today.

I showed up at her apartment, drew a heart in the snow, stood inside the heart, and threw a snowball at her window to get her attention. Hokey, corny, and maybe a bit over the top. But she's always commented on such things that others have done, saying "how come you never do that for me." I would usually roll my eyes. It is an absolute 180 for me, as I've rarely done anything like that for her. She waved and seemed confused as to why I was there, and I went to the door.

She welcomed me in, and I asked her "Did you see my heart?" as it was tough to make it out since the snow was a bit icy. She went to the window to look again, and when she turned back around, I took her in my arms and kissed her hard and lingered over it.

At the outset she seemed to gently try to deflect the kiss but then accepted it and drew me closer. We embraced silently for a long, long time.

I knew it struck a chord with her because I got the familiar exasperated whisper "Why now??"

I told her tomorrow is too late and I can't do a thing about the past. But I wanted to show her that I was serious about loving her. That I wasn't fighting for her because of a vow, a faith, or kids. I was fighting for her because of HER, and that I love her.

She had a meeting to go to so I simply told her goodbye and left to run some errands.

All in all it was a good encounter. She did not resist the embraces and seemed to really enjoy them. She was quiet and seemed to be deep in thought.
