let simple tenderness
be enough for now
slowly
slowly
slowly
rediscover what it means
to trust
to have a willingness
to be held
to know that it
is necessary
to let walls down
and embrace
to know that
to have contact
is, at times,
a matter
of survival
to know that
at times
the only way
to survive
is to bare
our selves
and be vulnerable
slowly
slowly
slowly
the passion
will find
its way back
and hopefully
have a place
in a greater
wholeness
