dearest,
it’s okay to be the one that loves more
to be the one that speaks less
to be the one that reaches out for a strong hand
isn’t it wonderful
that you can be so in need?
isn’t it wonderful
that you can feel so in need?
my dearest, dearest, heart:
it’s okay to put the self to rest
and to yield to your need
for the beloved
~
i close my eyes and
my forehead is so naturally drawn
downward, to rest at your feet
i cannot do other than bow
this is where i am
and this is where i belong
something in me knows
you
are home.
