never thought i'd use those words
to describe my own state of affairs...
but for you i tore down my fortress walls
and let your essence invade me
i care not if i am to be alone,
rebuilding the walls that had been in place
for so many years...
it is enough to know i could allow myself
to be touched...
to reach out for the beauty of another...
to feel that rush of emotion
and the calm of lying in your arms...
it is enough to know
i was safe
without mortar or stone...
