Slow and Steady

Slow and Steady 

By Annette Camp

I've never truly 

had a reason to 

take things slow 

in a relationship.

Immediate passion

was common.

But I've found that 

the reward is in 

the small moments 

of discovery, 

in learning yet 

one more thing.

Each day reveals 

something new, 

deepening our 

connection and 

building a strong, 

solid foundation.

It’s a path that 

demands patience 

and trust, but 

the richness 

it brings is 

incomparable.

The journey may 

be slow, but 

the memories we 

create along the 

way are worth 

every moment.

I truly believe 

that this pace 

allows us to 

cherish every 

hug and step

of the way.

I hug consciously, 

fully present in the 

moment, embracing 

the warm closeness 

it brings and its 

powerful impact. 

Each hug becomes a 

meaningful act, an 

exchange of comfort 

and affection, where 

I am aware of the 

bond it strengthens.

It’s a way to express 

care and gratitude, 

to be truly there for 

someone, creating a 

sense of harmony

and understanding 

that words often fail 

to capture. 

There is a beauty in 

conscious hugs and

taking things 

slow and steady

in our dating

relationship.
