This would be the first time that I have seen the morning as clearly as I've seen in years. A cleanse that was long overdue, I have to admit that you can see the change that you have made in me. The more casual resilience to your touch. The gingerly feeling of respect, can you see that aspect in the way that I react to your presence. The mere thought of the pain that we cause each other is mind boggling. The more you push the harder it is for me to react. The craft of your artistry is beautiful to watch. I long to see the future of the moment that you will do me harm, the dreading that I fear will be memorialized, etched deep into my psyche.
