wooow...interesting I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the and the soul I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

Love without discrimination. One that sees the flawed and can still find expression.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. - - - - - - - - An intense feeling of love so wonderfully expressed- - - -
