Happy Sunday!

Pairing: reader's choice
Rating: PG

For the best f-list of the world.

You. Wrapped in

my arms.

 

Me.

Touches. Whispers.

Hands. Fingers.

Lips. Skin.

Contact.

 

Riding on waves

of emotions.

Slowly. Carefully.

Discovering us

inch by inch.

 

Finally

swapping

bitterness and hate

for care and love,

self-destruction and self-distrust

for self-assurance and self-respect,

inaccessibility

for closeness.

 

Listening to our beating hearts…

Invisible scars and  wounds no longer visible…

 

Looking at you –

a vision of perfect grace.

 

I’m

drugged…

with…

 

Is it real love?

 

For my part

it is.

For your part

we have to find out.

 

How far this will go …

who knows...


Have a wonderful Sunday, sweethearts!
 
Love and hugs,
Julchen

I'm so late catching up! Please forgive me.

What an exquisite poem. For me, this sums up why we are all here and why fic is written.

Perfect. It's like a manifesto of love. Only more. It could also be about the changes taking place inside a person regarding himself, as well as between two people. I think you understand very deeply about how self-respect is the foundation of a relationship.

Thank you, Julchen! Words to think on, and to live by.

That's so wonderfully said, dear. Sometimes I'm just thinking ... waiting curiously what's coming out of the feather quill ... I'm so very happy you like it, sweetie.
Thank you!

As you said - self-respect is the foundation of a relationship. Without it it won't work.
