Rewriting My Love Stories.

I used to say that up until now I had lived to experience two great loves. I would look back fondly, reminiscing about how deep the feelings, how ridiculous the love, and painful the break-ups had been. I had felt something so powerful, so real and intense, or so I would tell myself. This was ...

Your home is in my heart; kept safe by silent strength. I’ll hold your gifts within me; til time forgets its length.
