You changed the definition of vulnerability for me;
And I couldn’t be more grateful.
What a privilege it is to be falling in love with someone so gentle.
What a privilege it is to experience someone holding parts of me I don’t trust the world to hold-
And watch them handle it with care for once.
I exhale the smoke of the past from my lungs and sink into my couch in an almost euphoric state-
This would feel too good to be true if you hadn’t been so consistent for two years.
But you are new;
A new experience, a new feeling, a new reset for my typically wired nervous system that I’ve been working hard to regulate.
You’ve changed the definition of vulnerability for me because-
I’m the flowers you inspired me to put on my kitchen counter again and you?
You are the water encouraging me to grow.
