What is “Making Love”?
“Making love” isn’t just about the physical act; it’s a way of life. It’s about creating a life, defining your journey, and living it to the fullest. It’s about molding your destiny, learning, experiencing, testing, analyzing, and enjoying every moment. It’s about deepening your connections and fostering growth, be it through relationships, creativity, or any pursuit that brings you joy.
The Birth and Beginnings
The day you were born brought a dream to life. It wasn’t just you who felt the wonder; it was also me. Holding you in my arms, I saw beyond your curious, shining eyes into your soul. In that moment, my life felt whole. My purpose shifted, bent upon starting again, this time with you, my beloved. Love, in its truest form, is a one-way journey, an unrequited dream that fills the soul.
