Our senses are what we use to understand our world. From seeing our surroundings since we are born to hearing our loved ones talk, laugh, and scream insecurities into the void of existence. Smelling the plants and trees around us as we walk down a path etched into the grassy hills surrounding the buildings and streets that make up any town or city in the world. Tasting the food we put in our mouths, as well as our favorite drinks.
But there is one severely underrated sense that we all use on a daily basis, and that's our sense of touch. Touching our keyboards, our phones, pencils, books; our families, loved ones, and feeling each tiny twitch or movement they make. The rise and falls of their chest when they breathe, the gentle curves of their lips when you touch them, and the feeling of electricity flowing through your veins like you stuck a fork in a power outlet when they touch your skin.
We all need that kind of touch. The touch that makes your legs give out, or leaves you needing more of the delicacies they leave you just by caressing their arms or bodies. The touch of the person you love the most. For me, it was her. And with the feeling of touch from the person I loved the most, also came the pain of being away from them.
My name is Mark West, and this is my story.

Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.

What if love isn't about grand gestures or perfect moments, but about staying, even when the world falls apart? In the end, what makes two souls truly belong to each other? Is it the moments of joy, or the quiet understanding in the darkest times? After reading their story, ask yourself: *What is love to you?* No , Not the one which you saw in movies or youtube or instagram reels neither the motivation lines you find in Pinterest apart from them what do you think love is to you ?Complete
When We Must Part (COMPLETE)
My Pain, Your Tears Your Pain, My Tears Then why do we cause each other pain? Why can't we just ignore each other, if our fate isn't to be together?

The time will come though, when we must part... but who would have known that this wouldn't happen once, but over and over again in our lives, all the way through to death? Maybe in another lifetime, we can say that we mustn't part, but in this lifetime, our existence is not for each other.

Addicted
"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

A Love Beyond Names
How did we get to this? Or rather, when? After you, I realized that time, circumstances, or simply us, because we are not perfect beings, but we try to be the best version of ourselves day by day, can be destined to be together and last as long as we are willing. Nostalgia flooded my body when I passed by our quiet, lonely, and green park, the one that welcomed us when we were together, just you and me. I saw that old, worn-out bench sitting empty; it was impossible not to remember the afternoons we spent there, laughing, dreaming, enjoying each other's company. From the moment I saw you that coincidental day, I knew that love had finally arrived in my life, and I will continue to stand by your side as your wife until my body can no longer go on.Complete
