Hardened By Fire
Our flesh does not weaken with use
any more than our love.
We use each other like the sculptor’s finest clay
and enter our refining furnace with joy.
Flames spill over us like martyrs for our faith,
yet we do not burn, finding new life as we breathe the
hot gasses of a love hardened by fire.

I never dreamed that new loves growing out of loss could be so wonderful.

You are loving a man who knows how to share love with someone. It's an experience and feeling he knows very well.
I reckon you have what is familiar and comforting to him. All that goodness in you that he is drawn to.
It's a privilege and an honour to have revelations with such openness and honesty.
