Can you tell the difference when her eyes flicker with passion or pain?
Do you understand her enough to recognise those moments just before she triggers, allowing you to prepare to catch her when she falls?
Does she trust you enough to confide in you and share her deepest fears, her sorrow, her crippling sadness?
The bond between two people is not procured from flesh on flesh alone. To form a bond that not only connects, but also weathers the storms of time, requires the ability to connect at a deeper level.
A level of unspoken comfort and connection where comfort overrides embarrassment or hesitation to be yourself in the presence of another.
To shed pretence and allow your vulnerable side to surface. To laugh belly deep or cry with such intensity that it feels like your soul has purged, as you build that emotional connection.
Connection is what creates the ability to recognise those small things that drive massive impact.
The nuances that balance the ability to understand triggers and assist with placement of coping strategies.
An unspoken bond that survives personnel change, growth and evolution of self.
A bond formed so deeply that it leads to unconditional and everlasting acceptance of another.
