He always soothes me
generously giving me
the best gift of all
being present in the now
securing my existence

    Vashti, wonderfully romantic and also highlights one of the key elements in a relationship:

    “the best gift of all
    being present in the now”

    So often we are distracted by our busy modern lives, being totally aware of another is truly a gift .. to both parties!

    Hope you had a brilliant weekend and a good week! 😀❤️

      Hi, Annika! You’re right. I also wanted to point out that we have to put our phones down sometimes, and truly see the people we love. Thank you for the wonderful comment, my friend. ❤ xo
