Today's poem is about being with someone that is afraid to open themselves up to receiving love. I found myself tip-toeing around certain phrases and actions so that they could feel comfortable in their indecision.
THE POEM
I heard all the words Except “I love you”, A phrase you seem to avoid You say admiration and adoration To fill the void. Speaking your language I dance around the phrase myself Letting my actions say it for me Out of respect for you And the fears running rampant in your mind Yet none of it compares To the warmth of the word Love and how it wraps Around your heart Comforting your soul. A feeling that for me, Never gets old Yet I’m willing to go without Because I know you have your doubts And I’m trying to give you time To get comfy with the idea of being mine. So when you’re ready, my love, We’ll take baby steps in saying those 3 words Like asterisks on the vowels And no I won’t find it foul Just a little silly with a small hint of pity Because you’re so scared to open up And experience my love.
As always, take what resonates and leave what doesn’t!
With love, always
