Holidays are great. Whether they’re religious, national, or the ones that specifically benefit the Hallmark corporation, they reflect sincere sentiments that can’t always be expressed in a five-dollar card. That kind of sentiment has a place in any intimate relationship, be it between casual lovers or spouses who have been together for a half-century.
However, some holidays aren’t reflected on a calendar or a marketing gimmick from Hallmark. Some are more personal than that. They might not even fit the traditional definition of a holiday. They’re more specialized and focused. They celebrate events that are unique to a particular person or couple. For some, they can make for some genuinely special moments.
I’ve been lucky enough to celebrate and share some of those moments in my personal life. I’ve known other couples who do the same. One particular couple I know don’t celebrate their wedding anniversary or birthdays with much fanfare, but they go out of their way to celebrate the day they shared their first kiss. That day means something to them and they make it a point to celebrate that.
I feel like those moments bring out an under-appreciated, but profound connection between people. It can also make for some of the best romance in both the real world and in sexy stories, like the ones I tell. If you’re lucky enough to have those occasions, I hope you have a passionate way of celebrating them.
That’s what this Daily Sexy Musing is intended to inspire. There are plenty of commercial holidays already. There’s a National Pizza Day, for crying out loud. If you don’t already have one of those special occasions to share with your significant other, I hope this encourages you to make one Enjoy!
We’ve marked the calendar.
We’ve cleared our schedule.
We’ve reserved the necessary time.
For everyone else, it’s just another day. The sun rises and sets, ushering in the daily grind that so many endure. We’ve had those days too. They are as much a part of our lives as any. However, this day is different. Today is special to us and together, we make it our own.
Not long ago, this day was nothing special. We spent much of our lives forgetting it as soon as it ended. Then, you came into my life. With you, every day gained greater meaning. Some had more than others. Whether by fate, choice, or luck, this day marked the moment when our paths converged.
On this day years ago, you kissed me.
On this day years ago, I felt your love on my lips.
On this day years ago, I dared to believe I’d found the one.
On this day years ago, we became something more.
In just one moment, an unremarkable date on a calendar gained immeasurable meaning. It became ingrained in our memories, a moment we’ve come to cherish more and more. I thought I knew its power at the time. With each passing year, I’ve come to know more and more.
Once again, we celebrate that moment.
Once again, we cherish that power.
Once again, we relive that precious memory.
You kiss me and I kiss you. On a fateful day years ago, it created the spark that we so eagerly fuel. Now, it is our favorite holiday and we’re ready to celebrate, as only we can.
