Pointing one’s torsos and feet towards the subject
A flushed appearance

i long for a love like work song by hozier
i want a love that fuels my spirit yet crushes my soul to bits
i wish for the devotion to my heart and soul from the very one who worships the ground i happen to bless
may it lift me up and break me down day by day as it converts me into the lover i so crave for
may the love i give come back to me in tenfold
may the world feel blessed to witness the true greatness of our adoration
for there is nothing better than growing into a being who knows nothing but the wonderful existence of love

Natasha, shocked: Do you want to be single?
