I love it Kitty...beautifully penned.

I ADORE the title. It feels like it could be a title for a novel. My favorite stanza was definitely the second. It was simply worded but powerful in the truth that you both could be basking in the sun, claim it together, yet it's obscured, and you are depriving yourself of light and warmth since you both cannot enjoy it. The last lines were tinged with sadness, the sense of being lost and struggling with identity, dissociated, and even in daylight, not seeing a clear way forward. When we lose a love or are distanced, it's all too easy to disappear ourselves, and have our own wants and desires be heard. We become obliterated by the loss and struggle to find that sun and our spot in it again. My only critique: "Tickling for your own pleasure" brought me out of the piece a bit and felt like it added nothing, mainly the word "tickling", which didn't feel right in this context or as impactful. The same with "Scratch that itch/ Rub that nerve". Just my opinion though, this is still your piece :)

And I don't believe I've said it yet, but, welcome back! Really good to see you posting again.

You have elloquently woven emotion and imagery throughout. I agree with MA the second stanza is the best. A great write qnd pleasure to read. Milly x
