love.

Word of the day: inamorata
a woman who loves or is loved; female sweetheart or lover

Sometimes I fantasize about being a woman who loves and is loved
Coming home to kindness and warmth, a cup of tea waiting on the kitchen counter
Chicken in the oven, pasta boiling in a pot
Outside, the setting sun turns everything golden, ethereal
The bills are paid, the groceries done, the bed made and the wine chilled
A quiet existence, where voices aren't raised, fists aren't tightened
A love that is selfish, where the give and take isn't 50-50
Where one act doesn't have to be countered with an act of similar effort
Where you love in the way you know how to, and I do the way I know best
