I’m lost without you, can’t help myself. How does it feel to know that I love you baby?
-- “Lost Without You” as recorded by Robin Thicke

Ah yes, he feels good to your Soul and has made his mark on your heart and in your life. He’s all you’ve ever asked for – smart, ambitious, self-sufficient, and, yes honey, he’s fine. He makes you laugh with his life’s stories and cry because of them – a balance only accomplished because of his need to share honestly and meaningfully with you. He’s a breath of fresh air, fully involved in life and evolved through life which ultimately inspires your life. He makes you want to keep your toes polished and the saddlebags at a minimum so you’ll always be physically attractive to him. He rouses you to improve your culinary skills so that you can amply feed him fully and righteously. And while, on the real, his horse may be beige, taupe, or damn near brown, and his coat-of-arms may be a bit crumpled he can still sweep your big assets off the ground and fly you to the moon, or at least somewhere down the street from the moon’s sister, the sun. He’s real, solid, sexy, and you adore him.

But somewhere along the way, they told you a man like this was too good to be true. They said a man like this, a love that feels like this, can’t be true, or logical, for that matter, and certainly won’t last, so, girl, you need to get over it and just go find you a man who can help you pay the bills and take care them kids. They said you must be crazy out of your mind holding out like that for some supercalifragilistic love. Go’n girl, they said, and just settle for some meat and potatoes, and maybe you can get a Big-K Cola in a paper cup on the side.

Well, first ask yourself, who is this “they” and what difference does it make what “they” say?

There is not a soul that can negate how you feel. Nor is there one who should tell you how you should feel. You know how you feel. When he’s away, you miss him. When he’s near, you can’t get enough. You do feel lost without him and, no, you can’t help it. While you know you’re not really “lost” – you know you’re right here, living a full and productive – parts of you are longing and hungry for his oomph and chi that simply complement you vim and vigor. You do love him, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And, you know what, everything in the world isn’t meant to be logical, especially not love and what you feel for the man who curls your toes just by saying your name. That is absolutely okay.

And, they can...
