Joy in Loving Relationships
Warmth as repair, not decoration.
Winter makes the body honest. You reach for a hand not because romance requires it but because heat is a bill the skin keeps sending.
Tenderness is repair work. Touch unlocks what talking circled for hours.
Overflow is a pretty word. Accurate is choosing warmth when pride would leave you cold.
New start is not guaranteed. Joy in relationship is smaller: the fire still catching after the argument, two people still in the room.
The hand stays within reach.
