This got me thinking a couple days ago, Liz, and I determined to write you a Valentine's Song based on this comment you made (and a few others
). So here you go: the lyrics for a song that I would like to imagine your dream man singing to YOU.
In reality, I may have to substitute as the singer...but, eh, reality isn't perfect.

“Hearth” for Elizabeth Lucia
You don’t need a fireplace or fancy home.
I just want to be with you alone,
cuddle up on the couch, watch kittens play,
do whatever you want if it will make your day.
No need for any defenses.
You can drop all pretenses.
Know that I’m not in this for me.
You’ll never be secondary.
When you're needing warmth
to which to turn your face,
I’ll be your fireplace.
Go ahead, plug in your electric guitar.
I won't limit who you are.
The person you most like to be,
you can be her with me.
Find your future and your inner child,
every part of your life reconciled.
I love all of you and them,
girl who’s the mother of the woman.
When you're needing warmth
to which to turn your face,
I want to be your fireplace.
So place your feet up,
sip from your iced coffee cup,
and read a favorite book.
Dream of a lover, love being a mother.
I’ll be your comfy nook.
When the cold and chill leave
feather frost on the panes
and the fire in your heart wanes,
I’ll stoke the flames for you
to warm you through and through,
and make you feel, make you feel,
make you feel like you again.
You don’t need a fireplace or fancy home.
I just want to be with you alone,
cuddle up on the couch, watch kittens play,
do whatever you want if it will make your day...
So place your feet up,
sip from your iced coffee cup,
and read a favorite book.
Dream of a lover, love being a mother.
I’ll be your comfy nook.
Place your feet up,
sip from your iced coffee cup,
and read a favorite book.
Dream of a lover, love being a mother.
I’ll be your cozy nook
when you're needing warmth
to which to turn your face,
I’ll be your fireplace.

Happy Valentine's Day, Liz!
