I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance
Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still:
When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passions kiss

"
the opposite of love is not hate but fear.
The capacity to affirm the Other requires an enlargement of soul to stand up against the fearfulness which is our condition.
To love the Other, with all the Other's presumed power to hurt us, requires a substantial amplitude of soul, an enlargement of one's sense of self, so that one is not so precariously at risk.
This is what Aristotle meant by the "magnanimous" person, one with a large enough sense of self to not only allow the Other to be Other, but to be open to whatever power, and capacity for wounding us, the Other may have. Until one can risk this kind of soulfulness, one cannot be said to be able to love."
James Hollis, The Eden Project: In search of the magical other

my partner doesn’t use pet names nearly as much as i do, which is very funny because i will crack my gay little knuckles and say some shit like “good morning my sun and moon, my loveliest boy, my baby my sweetheart my darling dearest” and he will reply “hello adrian”
