I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES and the stress of the day melts away. A hard day I had but I’m glad to be with you. The need to share my emotions and have someone listen, to have my feelings validated by the one person in my life that makes everything matter.

Your aroma surrounds me. I can taste you in the air. It’s comforting. Your scent envelopes me, drapes onto the environment, leaving a bit of you everywhere in this room.

You are omnipresent, even when you are 3,000 miles away, my dwelling is imbued with your distinct aura, the essence of you.

But right now, you are here. You are with me. We are no longer two separately halves of a functioning couple, but rather two beings occupying the same space, and are thoroughly together. Between the two of us, we have one lone functioning being, as we are the yin to the other’s yang.

You know how to subdue my worst elements—my least favourable aspects—with your most magnificent facets. And I, I like to believe that I do the same for you.
