"There's always one who loves and one who lets himself be loved."

- W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), 'Of Human Bondage', 1915


I have loved you endlessly from the moment I saw you…
Our lips connected and your breath entered my body
Deeply
Fully
Wholly
I was engulfed
Swept up in your enthusiasm…your youthful charms
My heart alighted with possibilities
You were the crystallization of all my hopes and dreams
I desired you
I longed for you
I craved you
I devoured you
How my simple uncomplicated and innocent life became consumed
Passion is not a flame for all to have or handle
It burns
It scars
It hurts deeply
And I have endured the foundry of this passion
I have forged myself against the lava of your love
I have tested my mettle and lived
My heart in tact
My love whole and complete
And still I love you
Oh beloved
Oh divine
Oh sweet man/boy/child…
MY LOVE!
