What I am rather certain of
Is how the settled dust felt
Upon my ivory skin.
Protected,
As I stood outside
Alongside the county road,
Where you held my hand, and
With a whispered delay…
Spoke
“I won’t make you go.”
But if I hadn’t
You’d have spent your entire
Life, not knowing me.

Somehow I missed this one, but Im so glad I found it, because its amazing. very powerful in its gentleness and yet, assertiveness. (if that makes any sense at all!) 😀
