love by another name

Summary:

the title was taken on this part of the fourth chapter, Transformation:

“Somehow that made it all the more precious. Not something to be hidden away, but a badge of honour that John knew he would always wear with pride: love by another name.”

Excerpt From: BeautifulFiction. “The Stars Move Still.”

Work Text:

names are powerful, so to speak
and this what I'm feeling had me trembling on my knees

from the moment we met
our existence had been inseparable
and that tug from both sides keeping us together—standing tall

you've been the luminous glow in the shadows
the warm heat in the cold

you are the presence I run to
when I've been lost in the unknown

and so they say
names are powerful
indeed, in a way
but this you're making me feel
more than words can say

once, I am broken
but you made me whole
still you made me yours
mind, body and soul

a bond to keep
our soul as one
forever we'll be
bound to eternity

Notes:

I wrote the poem first before doing the cover. And then it didn't left me—hence, the making of the cover. :)
