“I am the gun, the bullet, and the wound. I will not leave without you knowing, I was here.”

“When you have a lover who loves you, you don’t have to ask for flowers. You don’t have to ask for oral sex or to be held. You don’t have to ask for anything. One who loves you is committed to observing you and giving to you, as you instinctively observe and give to them, not because you are trying to get anything in return nor is it out of duty or obligation. You observe your lover’s needs and give to them because doing so is part of your standard, pleasure, and devotion. The courtesies, skills, and traits that you cultivate during intimate partnership will always be mirrored back to you by a lover. This is cosmic law.”

You are not behind.
