Conversation pieces

by Tulip Valentine

Do you ever get stuck in conversational ruts with your significant other? I know I do. I mean, it is rare that I’m at a loss for words, but I think often two people feel as though they’ve run out of things to say to each other. This doesn’t mean the thrill is gone or two people have fallen out of love, I really just think people forget how much there is to learn about their loved ones.

Well here’s something you should try regardless of how exciting your conversations are. Trust me, it’s much preferred to, “So how was your day, Honey?”

My boyfriend and I were out cruising around last night, and during a silent moment he asked me to tell him something about me that nobody else knew. Oh, and it couldn’t be just something that I did, but just something about me.

I couldn’t really think of anything, so I just ended up telling him about a thought that has passed through my mind a couple of times recently, and from there grew one of the best talks we’ve ever shared. We both learned so much from the conversation and I think it’s safe to say we both feel much closer to each other now. It’s funny how much people really do hide their true thoughts and feelings. (Well, this is true for us, but maybe not so much for some people. Don’t pretend you don’t know the type.)

The only untouched feelings we have are so tainted by the time they escape our mouths. We spend so much time reporting the news, but what’s really important and what brings us together are the passions and feelings we share with each other. How sad that we keep so much of them inside, especially from that one special person who makes the world turn.

So go out and express yourselves! If you spend a lot of time musing over something, tell your loved one! The high you feel is almost as great as falling in love in the first place.
