That’s a lyric from Luther Vandross’ Promise Me. Tonight has got me feeling some kinda way. I’m listening to Pandora and my Peabo Bryson station is playing a lot of Luther. I’m such a LV fan. When I hear his voice I feel like I’m being hugged. I feel as if I missed out on seeing him in concert before his death. He definitely died too young. One of the r&b voices that can never be replaced. Todays singers don’t sing about love like LV did. Its all about sex and how much money they make and hitting up clubs. That doesn’t inspire romance in me.
What does inspire me is intimacy. Being able to talk to someone and be yourself is worth so much more than being “wined and dined”. I crave to be invested in that way. Physical attraction can only take two people so far. What happens after sex? What happens the next morning when there’s ackward silence because you don’t know anything about the person you just had sex with? I’ve made a commitment to myself, to not have sex again until I’m in a relationship. Its in my best interest to make sure I’m invested in. Is it a struggle? Yep. Is it worth the struggle? Absolutely. Its easier said than done some can argue. Physical attraction can make you question whats it all for. Its because I’m investing in myself. The person I am is good enough for anybody.
