I love you both !
That is some life talk...
I feel that is just what, taking advantage instead of sharing. I'd
want to be sure I am only the second side, but for that be I'd have be
fulfilled, or wise enough to fulfill on my own, or to fill satisfied
anyway... It worked so far. Will it lighten, or move unto something
else... How much dedicated, and how much cooperative ?
Is my groung strong enough, can I make it better ?
What you think ? Can you tell me please ?

(O gentleness is a clue no matter what... Flowing our energies
together, in the same direction... So close together or not always ?).

With love,

Kriss
