Nameless
"What kind of a relationship do you want with her?" she asked.
"That's a difficult one," he replied. "I want to be a reason for her happiness, the song in her voice, the dance in her steps. Be someone who shows her the good counterpart of everything bad she has experienced. Someone who doesn't come to her with any rules, bonds or expectations. Someone who doesn't try bind her with ties that she's afraid of. Someone to make her realise, that love can exist even in the absense of norms, rituals, gifts, or proximity. Someone to show her that there can be closeness even across an insurmountable distance. Someone who can be everything she needs, even while being invisible to the eyes of outsiders.
What do you call that relationship?"
"Nameless, maybe?" she replied.
"Then nameless let it be!" he said.
"But..."
"Yes, 'nameless' can exist in spite of all the 'but's!"
