to please notice
when you are happy,
and exclaim or murmur
or think at some point,
'If this isn't nice,
I don't know what is'"

MrM took me to Bath
for a day out on Sunday.
He went to great lengths
to choose things to do
that he hoped I would enjoy.
As we walked down
Great Pulteney Street
in the autumn sunshine
I thought
"This is what it is like to be loved."

ReplyDeleteAs my husband and I ate lunch in the sunshine today we quizzed each other on the differences between romantic gestures and the gestures that make you feel cared for. Two for two Mr.M.
ReplyDeleteAwww. You are lucky.
ReplyDeleteAha! As you know that is my favourite quotation. I'm glad you had cause to say it.
