Ever, My Love, It’s Always Been You
She had been searching…
Gods, for too many centuries long – how she’d been searching!
But she had only caught brief glimpses of him while Milenia called her home ever since the eruption between their worlds had cast them far apart from each other.
They had made a promise that binds before time’s dilation had shifted as it often does to new delineations.
Yet, they had encountered barriers causing such anguished despair as they fought their way to rediscover and at last keep it.
And then, she had found a method – a prospective way to bring him forward into their sharing a new reality.
First, she synced with a host body – though she had had to struggle along its growing years to remember why she had chosen to be born into its reality after conjoining.
She did recall that the eyes are windows to the soul, and so she would search for him in other men’s eyes – though she could not remember why or what she was looking for.
She just remembered a feeling…
And she kept trying – but with no success.
But then, one day, she heard a voice that infiltrated her illusions and reawoke her essence.
And her core felt a recognition that she remembered that she had fought so hard to believe in.
Could it be that her most beloved had found his own way back to her?
And was there still time for their reunion and co-reawakening?
Dearest Friend,
“You’re the only game I don’t like to lose.”

Hon,
There are some things that make me feel strong reactions, but I don’t want the reactions’ influences.
I want to know and understand you better.
I want you to know and understand me better.
But if we speak about important things to both of us here, misunderstandings can too easily happen.
And, we don’t have privacy.
Therefore, this forum limits our communication.
I would like us to have another room with a clear view of each other – and nothing filtering or causing distortion between us.
Can you bridge for me?
Can we go some place together where we can have and take time without interruption to get to know each other better?
Dearest,
Please tell me what you want and need so that I may try my best to support your goals and dreams.
Hon,
I am so impressed by how you have grown.
My Love,
Are you free?
Honey,
Perhaps you worry a little too much and could obtain better clarity by asking me about my prorities -?

Our Love’s Messages
My Darling,
I needed standin substitutes for awhile, and became dependent upon them to help me find ways to bridge my way back to you.
I needed premise while in absence of knowing, and while I miss their assurances, I would rather get to have the truth of you.
(All – Snow Patrol)
My Love,
Come home. Let me catch you when you fall. We can figure out what it all means along the way.
She Said,
“Tell me that you need me, want me, love me…”
Baby,
“It’s important for you to know that I am not just innocence, sweet as pie…I’m also a street-weathered Hellion.”
Heaven’s Gate
Along the river where willows part
Lying on a blanket blessed by stars
He wrapped his body around hers
Sinking to depths embracing love
Her eyes spilling over tears of relief
Mirrored his request to never leave
A promise both gave in bonding
Their souls through mortal coils

My Love
Come as you are
We don’t need perfection
Baby
Come as you are
Cut through distraction
I need you to see
Everything you already
Mean to me
My biggest regret
Is time wasted
Between us
When we could have been
Together building trust
And honestly
I need you closer
Than ever
I’m glad we’ve had time
To figure out where we stand
But I missed you in the holidays
Not holding my hand
Its a New Year now
Let’s ride this horse
To town
We can share the reins
From slow walk to
Gallops insane
Come on Baby
No need to impress
You’re already the best
Anything you wanna give to me
Help me ease into it and
I’ll welcome it gladly

Hey, Baby
“Once we get to know each other better in person, our interactions will be smoother.
Because we are both sensitive and caring accommodators, we will be figuring out how to get along well together more rapidly than is usual in others’ beginning relationships.
I look forward to getting to know you more face to face – sharing our ‘perfectionisms’ to ‘spicey flaws’ – and hope you’ll hurry up and get yourself home to me tout sweet so that we can get our life together started.”
Sweat Heart,
“Whatever excuse fear gives us, we can work it out.”
(You’re The Inspiration – Chicago)
Dearest,
“I thought you knew what I wanted.
I am sorry that I was not more clear.
I never had a doubt – I was only unsure how and where to begin.”
My Love,
“I want you in my life.
For real.
All in.
We figure it out as we go.”
Hon,
“I want us to live together.”
So, Now
“I’ve told you.”
(Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car – Billy Ocean)
I’m Angry
“Because you’re not here.”
Hon,
“I need your advice.
I’ve hit next leveling hard times.
I don’t know what direction to aim for.
Except to just run and jump and see what catches.”

You Inspire Me
“I am amazed by how you brought fire back into your life, though earthbound.
It makes sense to me in some ways why your life journey has been so painful.
Hugs.”
Honey,
“I don’t know…
I map – and then take leaps of faith by extending inclusive gestures.
I love you, so I attempt to triangulate toward you possibilities in your favor.
Then, I rely on feedback from you to indicate if I am on target, or if I need to adjust my frequency.
Most of the time, it feels like I am ‘flying blind,’ and just feeling for your heart with my intuition hopefully correctly guiding me.
But this living ‘in between’ is how and why I can be so easily startled by the unexpected between us without your direct cummunication.
And then I could get triggered into a shutdown or flee reaction by accidentally registering you as a stranger getting too close to me in reality, if/when we were to cross paths suddenly.
I have survived by being extremely cautious in the environments around me, although I mask myself quite fluently to the point where this mechanism apparently now takes over me automatically.
Talk about ‘being in lockstep!’
I had no idea how much masking for safety has become such a part of my external identity!”
But You See, Baby
“I don’t want you to remain quiet, with me.”

Honey,
“I’m not thinking the same way many other people do about things between us.
I am next levels, but still hurting from our distance.”
(Run – Madison McFerrin & Bobby McFerrin, Honey Dijon Remix)
Baby,
“I know that you are used to being a force to be reckoned with.
But please don’t fault me for having caution – especially when it comes to protecting our sanctity”
(Been Undone – Peter Gabriel, Dark-Side Mix)
My Love,
“I need you to come right up to me and introduce yourself.
Our start doesn’t need to be – and likely won’t be perfect.
Even if I flinch and seem to shut down, don’t buy into it.
I see so many versions of you lately that it’s all I can do to dig into my space and hold myself together as I quiver inside wanting so much to just reach out and claim you as my own.
I am likely projecting a vibe of ‘stay away’ around me.
But it’s because I don’t want to make a wrong move with a ‘wrong’ guy…
I just want you by my side.”
(Rain – SVW, slowed + Reverb)
It Was No Accident
Well, Yeah
I dream in spaces
See you breathe
Perfect
Weightless
Crystal waters
Choose
Eyes like fire
Bite through wires
Higher pathway
Sharpest teeth
Patient reset
Waking
See me
Drifting
You know
My desire
Come now
Back to Eden
Reaching For You
I know, I know
But I want to know
What you know
(Afterlife – Nu Aspect, Jewels & MAGNUS)
Honey,
“I can’t sleep…”
