Because you mattered so much to me, which made your love dangerous to my heart’s beat.

(Past Self – Sleep Token)
My Love,
I never told you, but I had decided to turn toward you before – and then you turned toward me – shocking me, completely.
(Drag Me Under – Sleep Token)
You Know
“I want to.”
The Harder Parts
Baby, if they are dictating
Then we can let them lead
Let us lunge them like horses
So they release pent up energy
Ride the spook right out of them
Teach rewards are they can feed
“You Got That Feeling” (Song IP)
By Athena Stairs, February 10, 2026
And when the night is fallin’
I’ll keep callin’
You got that somethin’
I wanna live for
When your heart’s been achin’
Ain’t gonna lie to ya
You keep me comin’
Always back for more

My Love,
We can start at an easier level, if needed, for sure.

Sweet Heart
Will you please be my Valentine?
I’ve Been Worried,
Thinking we’ve met, and you didn’t get the response you hoped for, because I didn’t know it was you – and upset because I haven’t known when or what to do.
I Thought
You knew.
Dearest,
It’s why I get upset.
And feel teased.
But not good.
Hon,
I’m not sure what you look like, which is part of my confusion.
(For the Love of You [Pt. 1 & 2] – The Isley Brothers)
Baby,
Why is it so hard for us?

Knowing Your Soul
Goodnight, Love
May we meet again, soonest.
(Give Me Your Fire, Give Me Your Rain – The Paper Kites)
Sweet Heart,
Thank you for your efforts.
I apologize for my automatic default to neutrality in public.
It is something that just happens naturally now in my life – and is the way I allow space to discover common ground with others.
And still, I am learning to recognize you.
(Stereo – Two Colors)
My Love,
When you look at me, it is like we are having a conversation that I am waiting and longing to hear.
There is no other place that I would rather be than with you in those moments.
My Mind Said,
“This is interesting…” as I tried to maintain eye contact and allowed myself to just observe and worked to be in the moment.
The frission was intense, though – hard to keep my cool!
I Didn’t Know
You may think I know, but I don’t.
I just keep thinking that I am having chance encounters with a sranger.
Does that meant that I am “slow on the uptake?”
And maybe I respect people’s privacy too much – so I miss the obvious.
You Did Good, Honey
I like attention, too.
Dearest Friend,
Please come through for me.
I need your ok to hold you.
(Man I Need – Olivia Dean)
Please, Love
Don’t be mad at me.
I am not trying to play hard to get.
I just need solid reassurances for proceeding.
I have never been able to negotiate this.
So I guess that I am fumbling -?
Hon,
How would you like our attachment style to be, in public and in privacy?
(Surefire · NIGHT TRAVELER)
My Promise To You
Tracking
“I saw a message, and if you want to know, I need your direct number’s confirmation.”
Dearest Friend,
I remember you.
We have met before.
So close we could almost touch.
Then you walk away or out the door.
How is it that you could be more shy than I am?
When around you, everything floods into my system.
Looking at you, my deepest instincts are drawn forward from hiding.
I tremble from the strength required to still maintain my camoflage.
It’s like your presence melts the field and it’s just you and me.
I can barely control my movements, so nervous I then become.
Have you noticed how I become more careful in my movement’s tracking?
No one has ever surged my internal tides like this.
So tell me now, my love…
Are you my tractor beam?
Are you wanting what I can give you?
With all of your heart?
Completely?
Will you stay true to me?
Because I want to learn how to give you everything.
“5 Feet Apart”
(Fever – Jerro ft. Runnung Touch)
The Danger Is
That I might love you too much…
Do you care?
Do you want it all?
You
Get under my skin.
(Multiple meanings)
(Bad Enough – NIGHT TRAVELER)
Dearest Friend,
From a distance, I can intuit so many things – though I am not always sure if I am “reading” correctly.
Would you like me, still, if we got closer?
Is It Hard?
To witness how much I try to be true to you?
I Can’t Blame You,
But it is hard on me.
I am a vital, passionate woman, after all.
Oh, My Love,
How you tease me.
Is it on purpose?
Or something we are learning to feel?
Yeah, Baby
I miss you so bad.
But it’s got to be real between us.
(A Thousand Years – Sting)
Honey,
It isn’t a game, but I play for keeps.
Dearest Friend,
I dreamed about you last night.
Twice.
We spent time together.
I can’t explain how good and right it felt to be close to you.
It just fed something integral inside of me.
We were happy.
