The right person came along out of nowhere
Left me bewildered with a sudden revelation
I was baffled, though with a pang in my chest.
I never knew my feelings were important, too - having served and catered to everyone else's needs and wants and demands and expectations -- but my own.
It brought me to tears -- strange, that.
Such a simple thing can feel so monumental
They're always so careful not to hurt me, and always ask if I'm okay with things and helps me to talk about things I don't feel entirely comfortable with, or don't want.
Simple things like communication, at all times, and simply showing up for each other, can walk long strides over a short span of time.
A safe space to be.
To simple... Be.
I never felt that for a very long time. I believed in an obscure reality of what comfort and love looked like. It felt familiar because it hurt me so much. Perhaps I was used to that.
Constant anguish from a tender age.
But love isn't constant anguish.
Love is peaceful, comforting, and reassuring.
Friendship.
A give and take of energy and sensuality and love.
Judgement-free.
And above all: safe.
A kiss to the forehead to clear doubt.
Words to accompany them - working like magic woven into something warm and special.
Trust borne with ears to listen, and arms to comfort with.
A safe space.
This is what it feels like.
This is what I want.
