I sidestepped
The Question;
I’m not ready
Yet,
To respond,
I mumble.
Fearful, I peek
Between my lashes.
I can feel you
Withdrawing,
I think; and
Miserably wait.
I know, of course
I cannot hold out,
Either.
So why don’t I
Just give in to
A natural progression?
Adroitly, yet,
I sidestep, and
Refuse myself.
Warm hands
Cup my face,
Lifting it gently.
Looking into his eyes,
I know, I am blessed!
For, it’s there-
The unconditional patience;
The unwavering faith;
The rock like strength.
That you let me
Be me-
That is your greatest strength,
And my loving weakness!
And I cannot help,
But surrender!
