I will yearn for you in secret
Even though your hands were a bit too rough
Even though you hide the soft flesh underneath the stone of your outer skin
I will yearn for you
While waiting on the other side of those barricades
I will stay quiet
And still
Until you feel it is safe enough to peer outside
And to see that I am there
And it is spring
I will yearn for you in secret and in darkness
Until you are rough enough to step out into daylight
And to let your eyes adjust to see your own softness
