kiss my wounds

i still remember a tender scene from a german movie called "sommersturm" ("summer storm" in english) the movie is roughly about a boy's sexual awakening... how he slowly learns how to deal with it...rejecting it at lst, embarrassed by it, struggingly internally within himself, slowly coming to terms with it, and finally learning how to accept it. it is who he is and he can not run from it no matter how hard he tries...that he is gay and loves his best fren very much. however, the latter is actually straight and has a gf. the movie is part comedy too. there was much laughter in the cinema as i was watching it. but a tender scene in the movie touched by heart and stayed in my head for so long. i could never forget it.

(spoilers alert... if u have not watched it)

a summer storm was raging outside. rejected by his frens, and without a room to sleep, the boy sat alone in a shower room that no longer worked. he was cold and wet from the rain but this was nothing compared to the pain he felt in his heart. his best fren has rejected his love. he was totally crushed. found by another boy (boy 2), boy 2 took him in & shared his room and gave him new, warm clothes. understanding his pain, boy 2 kissed his pain(emotionally, and physically - boy 1 had sunburnt & skin was peeling from his back), slowly and tenderly, planting one kiss after another on boy 1's back, while gingerly applying some lotion. there was a connection of something powerful...such moments of tenderness. and i was touched...so deeply that i could almost feel it... it was real.

such tenderness, does it really exist in the real world?

and...

would u...

would u kiss my pain, and my wounds?
