Given a few moments to rest
Granted like fate, not kindly, not cruel
But with a sense of difference
Where in place I'd show indifference
Thinking quietly in pleasant worry
You left me to myself for a while
Given time to sit, to laugh
Helplessly, hopeless, because i know
I'm not assured
Then again, I'm not too concerned
There's a depth, a warmth
That i can understand
We see it all
Encompassed around a soft shell
There is a different approach
Passion overlapped with need
But taken lightly
The pressure smooth and caressing
Grasping, somehow still selfless
A calm mixture, it settles well
And worry recedes, a casual absence
Slipping away with stung pride
Giving way to what has grown
Tangled heart, it had always known
