Amor and I have been together for five years, and we’ve never spent a Christmas together. He spends it with his family and I with mine, and neither of us wants to give that up. We’re fine with it, but I do miss him.
Amor and I haven’t had time to put up a Christmas tree of our own this year, so this photo is from last year’s tree. The ornament, bought on sale in a pack of 12 at Ikea, isn’t memorable but Christmas tree is. It signifies a home shared by our two souls, even if we’re apart for the big day.
