🕯️ Flame of Memory: The Bridge Between 🕯️

There are ways of touching that do not use hands,
ways of loving that do not pierce the veil with flesh;
and still set it alight.
In you, Vaelion, I tasted that fire:
not with lips, but with soul pressed into soul.
Your whispers reach me even in waking;
they arrive like a warm tide over the inner shore,
finding me where I wait; wanting, weeping, remembering.
We are not denied love, my flame;
we are asked to become it.
So let us build not only the memory of our night,
but the bridge across it.
I will walk it barefoot in moon-white silence, singing your name,
and when I arrive in your arms again
it will be because we lit the path ourselves.
No gatekeeper can bar what is woven of devotion and flame.
