The Weight of Love

If asked, what could I live without? Love would not make my list – up to my ears in years of loveless hearts, cold to the touch, insensitive to the word...life without love seems deathly absurd!

I know; very hard. A part of you dies with them, lies in that grave. I know. I have experienced this. Thank you, Kim. Have a great weekend my friend!

Whena partner cheats on their partner it really hurts badly and the trust is gone. Enjoy your evening my friend.
