n.
A place of refuge or rest; a sanctuary.
I can think of many places that give me sanctuary - and the odd thing is that it's usually in the arms of someone I desperately love. L, N, D, J. Some more than others, and yet no matter how it is they comfort me - through fierce and gentle love, crazy and fun charmed evenings, complete domination, or utter silliness - there is no other sanctuary for me. It sounds absurd, I know - but I love them more than I can say, and they are my best friends. Some know my soul like no other will. And it kills me inside that some things I desire will never be.
And yet, they bring safety and contentment that I could never find before.
