They were just two people who loved and wanted each other.

The Offering
From that angle, the light shined upon his face revealing the pure innocence still residing within him, displayed for her acceptance in vulnerable openness.
It shocked her to her core, for never had she seen such bright beauty – for she could see the light of his soul emanating from back through time to how he’d always been, from the beginning.
So young – so young! her heart leapt out to protect him.
How could she want one so young? She drew back in shame at her assumptions.
But she knew that she must have seen the limits of time as they frissioned.
Fidgeting nervously for an hour while on the important call and casting tenuous glances around her, she saw him at last cross behind her quickly the opposite way, striding purposefully to a car and clutching a rolled up and well-creased paper bag that indicated his nervousness.
As she turned to better look at his retreating, strong and mature back, all she could think of was there went the man that she loved most fervently.
And she felt powerless to stop him.

Healing
She wanted to take his arms, wrists, and neck and claim them with kisses and nips, among other things.
Dear Friend,
“How do we begin?
How do we gently stumble through our initial awkwardness to get to the meat – the juicy grist of everything?
How do we build our connection so that we no longer fear anything?”
Well-Matched
For they were both so ameanable that no stone need be left unturned, and all could be understood – and forgiven.

To Be Funny
She asked him to walk a few paces away and then come back again, whereupon she cheekily sighed and stated, “You’ll do.”
And then, he grabbed her with a warning, possessive growl to their mutual laughter.
Hidden Desires
But she wanted was to hold him in her arms and give him everything.
Which Way Is Up?
Her experience had led her to be afraid that if she gave all of her love to a man, he would leave her – instead of desire and cherish her.
Dreaming Of You
She dreamed that she met him – but then, it wasn’t him, so the bonding went no further.
But the thrill of the simulation made her hope more than she’d been able to, before.

Anything, anything but remaining frozen solid stiff from shock and emotion.

Challenge Accepted
“Why’d you choose me out of everybody else?” she asked him, curiously.
“Because I calculated the algorythm – and you fit it to a ‘T,'” he reassured her.
“Is that right?” she challenged, playfully.
“Oh, Baby,” he moved in closer to take her hands and look sraight into her eyes, “You have no idea how ‘right’ it’s gonna be.”

No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence”

Back To Work
“Well, all of this has certainly sucked – and I am pretty much back to fending for myself again, despite injuries.
Yeah, I need to file for disability – because there is no way that I can attain previous numbers, again.
And yeah, the physicality of the therapies tears me apart, but that is why I’ve entered into modality retraining.
But I have to get through another year before I have things shifted onto a new track, and any help from society is waning.
At least, my neck having surgery is not a viable option, because at this point, it wouldn’t help anything.
My hips, however – they won’t consider surgery due to my age.
So I am just sh** out of luck – literally, no matter which way I turn.
At least I can try to regenerate some cash flow, again.
And let’s not even discuss my shoulders or spine…”
Yeah…
“It is kind of brutally funny, this living amid personal tragedy.”
