Thank you Linda!

I felt like something I had to share for the season. 😊

You made someone happy.

I'd take some of that reassurance myself :)

Carlos M.'s avatar

That’s why I wrote it.

I’m happy you’re taking some for yourself. 😊

This made me smile there’s something so tender and alive in how you share this. 💛

Carlos M.'s avatar

Thanks! I wanted to explore a different side of love which I felt it's not always explored in Valentine's. 😊

I loved the sentiment and appreciate the different approach feel likes it’s necessary to show all angles 😊

Beautiful Carlos!! I expecially loved this line

"Perhaps, it’s about showing someone the beauty of their endurance".

Carlos M.'s avatar

Tara! I’m always so happy when I see you in my comments.

I think that line pretty much sums up the poem.

I’m glad you liked it. 😊😁

This is definitely beautiful and would mean so much to someone instead of just I love yous and cards and flowers or chocolates.....heartfelt is always the best.....thank you for sharing.

I think we're going to have a lot of poems written about "you're beautiful" and "I love you to the moon and back" so I wanted to write about a different side of love.

The love that says "Even the parts you hide are beautiful to me."

Thanks for your comment my friend. 😊🫂

So beautiful Carlos -- I think this exquisite poem expresses what we all secretly desire. I would melt if a man sent me words like that.

Carlos M.'s avatar

Thank you Klar.

I wanted to write about a different dimension to love. Not just the romantic part that’s all about adoration, but also the part about difficult pasts.

You deserve a man telling you this every day my friend. 🫂

I feel like this is adoration of a deeper kind, perhaps true adoration -- loving their bruises, their scars. Also becoming a part of their healing journey. Stunning.

Carlos M.'s avatar

Not judging someone for their scars and instead seeing the beauty in them. 😊

Thank you so much Istvan!

I just wanted to post something that felt more aligned with Valentine's.

This feels like consent to be witnessed 💚

I love that description!

Yes, just thought the conversation about love wouldn't be complete without this.
