I can feel it.
Feel that connection when you look in my eyes.
Can you feel it too?
I hear it in your voice
When you look straight into my eyes and tell me you love me.
I feel it.
I feel your love like I never have.
Or never thought I could.
Never thought I deserved.
It scares me really.
Scares me in the way I feel so close
Too vulnerable
Giving you all the tools to break me down
To tear me to pieces.
But you have decided to build me up.
To make me feel safe.
I can see it in the way you look at me when I am scared.
Like you won't hurt me
...and I believe you.
I believe you?
That's a new one.
You know my secrets and you
...share yours too?
You are never surprised
Just taking all of me in.
ALL of me.
And you don't run.
You say they make me part of who I am
And you love ALL of me.
Even the bad things.
You react to my surprise by reminding me I do the same.
I love ALL of you too.
And I do.
I feel safe
Loved
Wanted
With you.
