Her gentle touch,
The smell of her-
The closeness-
Feeling her against me because she wants to be
Feeling her energy lift when I come near
The way we can be together and "do" nothing for hours
And yet feel like it was the best time spent in a long time
Knowing that there is no demands, no expectations-
Just here and now
Being able to be free to be who and what we are in each other’s presence
Knowing that even if we do not feel ok about who we are, the other believes we are fantastic just the way we are
A sense of such great tenderness,
Such wonderful desire to connect with another wonderful human
Not needing it to be sexual,
Not needing it to be forever
Just needing it to be- just to be
Like a flower needs the sun in order to bloom-
The heart needs the "sun" of another soul in order for it to open up-
To open to all the things that it can hold, all of the things that it can be
To open to all the possibilities of a world that is made up of more than just abuse, hurt, and neglect-
A world of such wonderful possibilities as Love, joy, connectedness, wholeness, freedom, acceptance.
Flowering in the sun of life,
The sun of love
The sun of possibility
Seeing, even Knowing possibilities that did not seem to exist before-
Two different hearts-
Two different people-
With different interests-
And yet the same desires
Neither mind knowing clearly what they want-
Both hearts intuitively sensing what they need
Connection-
Wholeness-
Wholeness not through the 'virtues' of someone else, but rather through another reflecting back to us the beauty within our own being-
Each trying to help the other see themselves through the eyes of the other.
Such possibility-
