Nothing hits as raw
as feelings that you get..
when you have
laid yourself
completely bare..
in front of another.

When you
make yourself
so vulnerable..
that at their whim
they could
annihilate you
if they wanted.

Because you know
that they shan’t dare.
Because you know
that in their
heart of hearts..
they just as deeply
care.

That’s how you know
that you are wholly theirs…
and they are wholly yours.
Beyond comparison
or calculation or remorse.
That’s how you know
that what you hold
is purest love.
That you are
deeply wanted..
not just merely
quite enough.

I wouldn’t trade my woman
for anyone else in this world.
The heat of her embrace
is incomparable..
to any other
source of
warmth.
