Dear lover and friend,
When I show you my darkness, my fears and how ugly I can be, please accept my surrender and total trust in you.
As I lay out my bare self, naked and helpless, I show no defense and am open and vulnerable.
But do not mistake this for weakness. I am aware of the exposure. When I observe signs of you misusing the power I have laid in your hands, I will probably tell you.
Once
Twice
After that, my ancestors will take over.
I have no right to misuse and mistreat the precious life I was given. My life doesn’t belong to me. It was given to me for a purpose higher than mere earthly vanity.
And with no second thought, I will grab my sword, dear lover.
Even if it means cutting my own hand, that I have lent you.
This is how precious our friendship and love is to me.
I am willing to sacrifice myself, so it remains untarnished.
