Alright... first and foremost, this picture shouldn't be judged on artistic quality(how it's drawn) as the meaning for it and behind it far out weigh such a thing.

Background history on this, as it was done for something specific but then became more.

Originally started drawing this as a full piece(i.e. lots of detail) for a character I am making for a project, who's story, in a nutshell is, they were destined to be together and have a child but their child was destined to destroy -everything-, so their parents who are both deities(one good one evil) banned together to put a stop to it -without- hurting/killing their children. So they put the two lovers souls and bodies into one being(who has both souls and can freely transform from the man to the woman and vice versa) so that they could always be together but never actually be -together-, if that makes sense. Basically... they will always be one... but are of one body forever.

So... the deeper meaning for this is dedicated to a few specific people but still for everyone. This is for anyone who wants to have someone in their life still who they can't have. By this I mean people, friends, loved ones, etc who you care about but have never seen/meet or haven't seen in a long time, people who have passed away who will always be in your heart but you can't ever hug them again, people who were in your life that you wish you could see again but they are never around/too far away, people who every time you see them you wish you could hug them and be with them but you can't.

But most of all this is dedicated to four friends of mine, two of which is on dA. She lost her father this year and he was the world to her, so this picture is wholly for the S'wah. This picture is for one of my best friends here in Phoenix, who last year lost his sister and I was there for him at her funeral on my birthday. And this is for one of the closest people to me, Kim, who thanks to AOL I got to meet.. but 've never seen her in person. And this is for Val, who will probably never read this as she disappears off the face of dA and the world often, but she is someone I miss very much.

And the not so random song for this picture is...

"It's Been A While" by Staind

Its been awhile
Since I could lok at myself straight
and it's been awhile
since i said i'm sorry
It's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
It's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And while the picture and lyrics may be sexual in nature... again, this is for everyone who can't hold someone no matter what they mean to you.
