she held me in her heart
wrapping her love around my soul
giving me nourishment
and meaning to life as I did her

we were vulnerable
and naked before each other
exposing all of our
frailties and weaknesses

a sacred trust

a vow to be gentle

we were the caretakers
of each others heart

if I were cut she would bleed

if she was sad I would cry

as we felt each others pain
so we shared each others joy

I will love her forever
