This feels like letting go of a memory that's keeping you in the past. Very vulnerable, but very beautiful—something I've come to expect from your writing! Thank you for sharing this part of your soul with us.

You paint a vivid and real representation of the ups and downs of a passionate, all-consuming romance, and the healing journey you have to embark on after. Related so much to your beautiful words

<3333 I love you so much! Thank you for being such a cheerleader and for really taking the words in. I wanted to represent the love in a way that honored all of it. Even though this didn't even touch the surface of how much more there is to think and write about.

Mmm, I resonate with my own tales of a similar courtship. You express this beautifully and your healing is deeply woven in your descriptions of your times shared. Wisdom that came from the deep fall. Stunning words my dear, thank you for being open.

My lovely Des, thank you so much for your eyes. It means a lot to me that you were able to read between the lines. I think honoring the past is such a pertinent way of resolving grief. "Wisdom that came from the deep fall." What a beautiful way to put it, thank you!
