OFOS has just always been a constant in my life, at some level ...
I never knew how much I

and truly "need" these things in my life,
until I did not have them while with someone.
I adore having my door opened for me.
Being put on the inside of the sidewalk.
Your hand on the small of my back.
Pulling out my chair and waiting to scoot it back in.
Getting the car door for me.
Newly experienced, even opening the car door to get out.
(I didn't know I would like that so very much

)
I will gladly tell you what I want to order, if you would like to tell the waiter for me.
Being dropped off at the door because it is cold or raining.
Waiting for you to get the car, for same reasons.
You insisting I wear your jacket since you know I must be chilly or getting damp from the rain,
even thought I did not say a word.
I

when you truly listen, pay attention to all that is said and done ...
Seeing proof of this with special little surprises that reflect that you truly heard me.
The sweet words of appreciation and sincerity whispered, texted or just make me weak in the knees.
Being touched when you walk past me, just cause you want to.
These are all things I miss so very much.
I now know I need these things from the person I am with.
I ache for them and do not feel complete without them.
Of course these are just a few of the things I appreciate and cherish.
Most likely, though out the day, things will trickle into my mind of what I forgot or missed.
These are just forefront in my mind.
Thank you for still carrying on these OFOS ways that are so very cherished, adored and needed ...
At least, in this femmes life.
I did not realize how very long this turned out to be ...
Guess it's something I feel strongly about and miss so very much!!
