Steinza- ‘her’ (sunflower) played while I read this and I must sayyy I still have goosebumpss! I’d never heard this song or band - funny how some things in life just work and some things, they just don’t at all. — goshhh I still get nervous reading your work sometimes. I absolutely agree and loved I want someone to move the furniture inside around <3 god I miss her so much. I figured like anything else in life it would fade but I swear it grows stronger everyday but I fear she may not need or want me in any way at this point. I’m gonna try a Hail Mary this next week soo we’ll see!

Sunflowers have been a constant in my life for the past 7 years, since my first & best partner so far. It’s funny the sunflowers stuck around despite her disappearance. Anyway I hope the best for you two!

Like dew forming on grass before dawn realizes it's morning,

Is the quite act of noticing.

“I want to be altered by you. not as sacrifice, but as communion.”… absolutely amazing piece. It’s all in the being known, and being loved for it.

Beautiful. This makes me grateful for my husband, who no matter what, has stood quietly by my side for 23 years.

It’s the intimacy of actually loving someone—you’d give your heart to them in an instant. Where listening all the time, even when they tell the same stories, is enjoyable and enough, and doesn’t feel like a chore.

Wow! Piercing and fresh. Really enjoyed, and reminded how starkly different our hearts could be, even when in love together.

the way you flow through words is incredible, how you expressed that love has always felt like something you had to built a funeral for once you get it because it can leave – goosebumps all over my body. not only this applies to romantic relationships but also friendships...anyways, love your work always

Those beautiful moments, beautiful period, it was more than perfect but it's nothing to me if it's not here now with me. I'm satisfied with the few I have now, the few but constant, the few but right.

I’m just working on some writing about how growing up as a man has left me emotionally stunned for a long time and how this affected my life. Reading this felt like a caress to the soul. It helped me to find the place for the words that were looking for a place in my mind.
