Isn't something like the following?

I want to be able to discuss anything and everything with you. Conversations conveyed with respect and kindness even on the topics we find difficult, and done so without explosions of anger or cold withdrawals.

I want us to be comfortable, close and trusting enough with each other that there are no "eggshell places or pits of doom" in our relationship.

I want to be able to reach out and touch you with kisses, hugs or caresses with the knowledge that my touch is welcome to you and not something you merely tolerate or outright avoid.

I want you to reach out and touch me with kisses, hugs and caresses and know that you do so for love of me and a celebration of us.

I want to build a lifetime with you that we can look back on with warmth and pride rather than regret and sorrow.

I want to grab your hand, kiss your lips, hug you softly, look you in the eyes and have it be clean and joyous with no shadow between us to spoil it.

I'm not looking for sexual olympics. I'm not looking for overwhelming, glazed-eyed sexual desire. I'm not looking for something new and different each time we come together.

I want to make love to you. I want you to make love to me. Where we can be comfortable with each other. Where we can be open to each other. Where we both lay down our guard and allow the other in for a time.

I want you to be next to me and that I can know that I am the man you have chosen to spend you life with, to spend your days with, and that you would choose me again.

Just some thoughts.
