Richard Armitage Pics & Countdown to Valentine's Day

It seems especially fitting during the countdown to Valentine's Day to start the journey with a poem, a very special moment and a special man.

The lovely poem written by an average woman...no one famous..
Addicted
by BELLAAMORE
addicted to a kiss
that never blessed my lips
addicted to a touch
that never caressed my skin
addicted to a look
that never met my eyes
…
addicted to his voice
his laugh …
his soul…
addicted to him.


Did that....

moment begin for you with this scene...

or was it further into the saga...

I know for me, and many others, the following moment was the one that ignited a warm glow that ultimately found us completely mesmerized by the actor who brought John Thornton's "150yrs of living on a page" (Richard's words) finally to vivid life.

Can't we almost hear that heart-wrenching catch in his throat and deep sigh...
