Something beautiful.

something raw, something real.

I can never fully explain why, but there’s something undeniably raw about loving someone who’s been wounded before.

You know that this person isn’t just a survivor, but that they must have licked their own wounds clean and gotten back up after life decided to give them a beating or two.

There’s something undeniably brave about someone who doesn’t hide their scars, but instead, displays them with triumph and audacity. Once this is recognized, the shamelessness alone could keep any bystander either fearful or madly in love.

There’s something undeniably sacred about holding someone who’s been wounded before, because a part of you knows they don’t even want to be held but they will still try their best not to bleed on you.

 In fact, it’s almost as if you need it more than they do.

Two sided places to all coins. A broken heart may go half way only. Fear is a hard wall to climb over. Thank you for sharing the excellent story. You left something for the reader to think about.

It's well written and you have again done quite good in paying tribute to your love.
It is good to see people loving each other on the basis of their inner personality and not on looks.
Well done, friend.

wounds? here is some: energy orb wave rolly, polytheism poley = monopoly...sort of does away with non-pagan religions, but many might try to refuse reality.

Quite a moving piece. I found the writing to be well thought out, and while it doesn't quite effect or connect to me in the sense that I haven't felt the sting of love lost, I know someone who has and I feel she would agree with the short stories message.

I'm sorry you couldn't connect to it personally but thank you for taking the time to read it.

No need for apologies, I still found it to be very competent and well put together.
