“Allow yourself to mourn the loss of love, and heal from those wounds. Don’t run into the arms of another lover, you will not find peace there: you will only accumulate more to heal from.”

I began to draw an invisible line between myself and other people. No matter who I was dealing with. I maintained a set distance, carefully monitoring the person’s attitude so that they wouldn't get any closer. I didn't easily swallow what other people told me. My only passions were books and music.
- Haruki Murakami

Your body
Your body, a masterpiece, sculpted divine, Made for my hands to worship and entwine Each curve and contour, a heavenly design, For my touch to linger, in pleasure's shrine Your lips, a temptation, soft and inviting, Made for my kisses, endlessly delighting For my lips to claim, in fervent igniting, In the dance of passion, never subsiding You were made for me, my love and devotion, To worship and cherish, in eternal motion In the realm of desire, our hearts in sync, You were made for me, to love and drink Your essence, a symphony, intoxicating and pure, In the dance of ecstasy, forever endure For you are mine, to adore and explore, In the sacred union, forevermore ~ For Your Pleasure

“What is necessary, after all, is only this: solitude, vast inner solitude. To walk inside yourself and meet no one for hours—that is what you must be able to attain.”

I think ‘I adore you’ is such a wonderful phrase, it’s so soft and loving and feels so safe and comforting
