Can you imagine, a day so long, your mind and body exhausted from the work you toil with. As you step through my door carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, all you desire is for all of it to go away, if just for a moment. The stress of your life bearing down upon you like a carnivore upon its prey ready to consume you.
You long for rest, for relaxation, your body craves attention, a break. Your mind desires to shut down and forget everything for a while, to stop its constant whirling of information running here and there. Your head hurts, your feet are sore and your back is weary. You have pushed yourself to physical limits and beyond, demanded by those that seek the admiration for your hard efforts. Efforts that you deserve recognition for, that you know you will never receive.
Can you imagine, me walking up to you as you throw your coat on the sofa. Looking deeply into your eyes, tenderly putting my arms around your waist, pulling you close. Your eyes so elegant yet so deep with frustrations of the day to day. Speaking softly as if to say, "I cant take anymore, help me."
I take deep notice of your pain and pull you to the sofa to remove your heels, massaging your feet gently. Pulling all of the aches they have suffered through the day out and into my hands to be quickly discarded through the strength of my body. Bearing the weight they have carried all day long, the gorgeous frame of your body and the insurmountable dilemmas that you have faced.
You run your hand across my cheek, without a word you look at me and tell me you need rest, a moment in time where you can forget all. To close your eyes and leave the world behind, taking with you only those things that bring you utter fulfillment.
Can you imagine, as I pick you up, you laying your head upon my shoulder. Your eyes closed and longing for the sleep that your body is so very much in need of. I carry you to the bathroom where I set you down upon your feet, your body wavering as if the forces outside are pushing and pulling. You open your eyes and take notice of where you are. The room is light elegantly with the light of a thousand candles placed all around. As if in a dream, the firelight dances upon the walls, entrancing your senses.
