For him my bees


Niel, You are the quiet after a hard day, the deep breath my soul takes when the world becomes too loud. I love the way your hands tell stories— strong from work, steady from life, yet gentle when they find me. At night, when the world finally sleeps, I find myself craving more than your touch; I crave your presence, your voice low against my ear, the warmth of your body beside mine, the feeling of belonging somewhere completely. You are the fire in my winter, the slow-burning red wine shared beneath a sky full of stars. Not rushed. Not reckless. Just deep, rich, and impossible to forget. I love the man you are— the one who chooses peace over chaos, open fields over crowded rooms, truth over games, and loyalty over convenience. And when you pull me close, every mile I've walked, every scar I've carried, every lonely moment before you, suddenly makes sense. Because loving you is not a storm. It is a home. A strong chest to rest my head on. A hand that never lets go. A heartbeat that somehow taught mine a calmer rhythm. So if I could write one truth across every sunset, every cattle field, every glass of red wine raised beneath the stars, it would simply be this: I desire you. I admire you. I choose you. And with every passing day, I fall a little deeper into the beautiful, quiet life I want to build with you. ❤️
