You hold my heart
Carefully in your hands
I cradle yours
Gently
All parameters met
The slow build
The steps bravely taken
A ritual of
Seven Words
Completed
Bursting with
Unexpected joy
Leaking out my eyes
Tears of happiness
"You didn't know?"
You ask
"I didn't want to assume"
My soft reply
But I did know
You showed me
In so many ways
Touch and Time
Given freely and
Generously
Still
A ritual of Seven Words
Complete
