Beautiful, glad I'm catching up on your poems. A bite at a time. If you come over, I must warn you I have posted 'a long one' as written many moons ago but never put on Soup. Pls grant length forgiveness. I just noticed that I've had the pleasure of reading this before and forgetting same allowed me to enjoy it all over again, see, there's upside to my brain

Dear Andrea, I like how you don't overcomplicate intimacy, you just let the soft warmth and lavender speak for themselves, capturing a whole room's peace in five simple lines. An unhurried moment becomes something deeply tangible. Loved! Blessings, Daniel

Thanks. I don't even know why I write so much about romance. It's not like I am living the dream. Haha
