Little things, like a heartbeat within a shell, lilting words on a summer breeze, the unfolding of souls across a wire, these things are life's blood to me.Greater than sex, and crucial to love; They can never be ignored, or pushed aside until tomorrow.

Leaving flowers in a vase, or surprising her with favorite foods. Bringing her the cup of tea she didn't have to ask for. These are the things that will keep love strong in the hardest of times.
