~ COURAGE ~

With you,
There was no masquerade,
Armor was never worn,
The walls that defended me,
Soon looked tattered and torn.

Surrendering my heart,
I trusted,
Exposing my soul,
I believed,
Our connection was effortless,
Nothing preconceived.

Our laughter was magical,
An unrehearsed kindness,
Comforting and carefree,
Neither of us were spineless.

Our bond grew quickly,
Casting no fear,
Supporting each other,
Our love became clear.

In the flash of one evenings decision,
A wreckage took place,
We were damaged by the collision,
Such a sad disgrace.

With each passing day,
Filled with despair,
An emotional roller coaster,
I could no longer bare.

It was much more than COURAGE,
It was also PRIDE,
Peaceful and understanding,
I stepped aside.

Experience life,
Search for different directions,
Find yourself in places that are new.
Have the COURAGE to find happiness in
Everything that you do.

For You~

For you, I would just be there.  Someone to talk to and share thing with.  Someone to confide in.  Sharing your fears, knowing I would not ridicule or show disinterest.  Someone to hold close and share intimate moments with.

We could laugh together, cry together, and play together.  I would give you space when you wanted to be alone, or be there for you when you want to be held closely.  I would understand your limits and know where to draw the line.

I would trust you and I would be trustworthy for you.  I would give you no reasons to fear with me.  Living life in an adventurous way.  Loving the life that you live.  Being alone but never feeling lonely.

I would show you passion, respect, kindness, honesty, sincerity, and happiness every day.  There would be no room for hatred, anger, resentment, or sadness to be felt.

Be there for me,
And I will be there for you …. unconditionally
