In the book I am reading, What Love Is and What it Could Be, philosopher Carrie Jenkins writes that romantic love is dual in nature, as it is both a biological phenomenon and a social construct. The way my heart races when I see you again demonstrates romantic love’s biological component. Our ideas about to carry out our romantic business derive from socially manufactured norms. Both the biology and sociology of love come together and are equally important in determining how you and I experience love. Pretty cool stuff to think about, huh?

I am just laying here, baby, and I’m mighty tired. I’m reading this here book and just thinking about how I wish it weren’t late and how I wish you weren’t far away so we could make a little tent out of chairs and bedsheets and talk about it. I sure love playing with you and talking about how we think the world works.

I’m super sleepy, my love, and I’m happy right now because I get to go to sleep thinking about you. I can feel your kisses. Happy to miss you. Loving to love you. Always baby. Goodnight.
