It would’ve been a longer and much more inconvenient journey to work, albeit not involving the risk of getting […]
I want to hold your warm hand and share my cold with you. I want to share the intimate silence that lives between us, accompanied by a touch and the awakened new energy streaming up the veins. I want to share with you the moment of timelessness filled with the sense of bliss after which you know […]
