searching for distractions

i love you more today
than i loved you on our wedding day
or the night you proposed
or the night you offered to drive two hours just to hug me.
i look at you, and i see where i came from and where i am going.
you helped me grow into the woman i am.
for better or for worse i am yours.

but lately i don't know how to calm my feelings.
each time we kiss, each time you hold me... the desire to have a family comes screeching to the front of my mind.
i am frantically searching for new distractions every day.
my atempts are feeble, because everyday that i love you more, i want it more.

you don't want to hear about it.  you can't stand the fact that i am not completely happy.  i don't want to convince you. i want you to wake up and want it too.  in the meantime, please know that it aches. i can literally feel an emptiness in the place i imagine my uterus to be.  my arms feel light where the weight of a sleeping infant should be.  is it so wrong to want to see what our love can create?
