After that evening, the wall labeled “subordination” crumbled.
A kind of sphere formed around us—one containing just me, him, and our bond, growing stronger every day. We still weren’t having sex, yet on a soul level, we had already merged. Physical intimacy felt almost inappropriate, even unnecessary, compared to the depth of connection we were living through: fleeting touches, tender embraces, heartfelt conversations, holding each other’s gaze. An inner silence and comfort simply from being close—unlike anything before.
“This is the first time I’ve treated a body with such respect,” he said.
And I believed him. It was evident. He revered me and carefully protected my boundaries, which—despite all my openness and sensuality—still felt like high walls with thorns, built to protect my inner girl. He loved that girl. And it seemed his mission was to shield her from all hardships.
With him, I truly felt safe and at peace. Looking back, I could no longer understand how much strength it must have taken to navigate my life without him. But now we were one. And it seemed nothing could separate us…
Except his flight to Australia.
“This Australia… I’m not even sure why I’m going anymore,” Snake muttered, distracted, as he packed his suitcase.
“Well then… don’t,” I pleaded with the eyes of Puss in Boots from Shrek.
“It’s a new experience—I need it. But hey, we’ll definitely see each other soon! I’ll come back to Bali, or you’ll fly to Australia, or maybe we’ll end up somewhere we’ve never been together. Trust me: we’re not losing each other now.”
“Sounds like a promise,” I smiled hopefully, looking into his kind, ocean-wave eyes.
We both sighed heavily, knowing how hard the parting would be, and embraced one last time. We understood perfectly well that this wasn’t some vacation fling. We were certain: this was just the beginning of our shared journey.
“I see many roads ahead. And they all merge into one—the one we’re walking hand in hand…” I wrote in my telegram channel, closing the door behind him.
