You

You

I saw your vulnerability today

And I was lost in your real,

I have so many feelings

Yet a lack of words to describe

What happens to me when I am in your presence?

Sometimes I stop myself from speaking,

Afraid to feel too much, afraid of my thoughts running loose

But I get lost in our thoughts, our connection – discussion

This is the first time I’ve met some one I feel comfortable with

Talking about my gender, about the intimates — My being

If anything it is you who pulls

This side of me to the surface

Shining your spotlight of glimmer

Deep into my soul, transforming it

Into something new

Something me

Something I’m connected to

Perhaps something I’m yet to be?

But today was different

You weren’t here out of request

You were here because you wanted to be here…

And I ate every moment of it

You challenge me, to think beyond what I’ve known

Glimpses into you

This is too new, or is it? Either way I can’t make sense of it

I am who I am… I must learn to love it

I called you a role model – maybe that scared you?

But you are, and an inspiration

You hugged me – and this time I really hugged back

They are something I look forward to now..

Even though all of this is new, I feel we’ve met before

I want more time; yet feel so nervous when I am around you

But I will learn,

Why do I stop myself from saying what I want?

I don’t want to cross a line – If there is one?

I feel excited, thankful, scared, stimulated, warm, loved and blessed

To have met you

I feel gifted for your embrace

I saw your vulnerability today – perhaps even a tear

Pure human quality, and a glint in the eye

Sadness and journey

Fragility and struggle, but your strength and honesty

It took my breath away

It made me want to hold you,

And hug you forever

I was afraid to say that

It felt hard to admit that when I see you,

I just want to be close

Deepen these bonds

Explore what this is….
