Hey Sven. I've missed your writing. You always put your feelings into such beautiful, heartfelt words, and this piece is no exception.

Love always friend,
Krissie

Hi Sven!

Listening is a lost art form for many, many people...and it occurred to me reading your poem that we can, as lovers, listen poetically.  

This has opened up an ENTIRELY new distinction for me. THANK YOU!

...From your heart, you would listen.....
That's the promise you make

We do need that......don't we?

Thank you for such a touching beautiful read
