I don’t know the moment your looks of Lust turned to Love.
I missed when your cold caress transformed into my greatest comfort.
Was I slumbering when your careless words started to take on meaning?
My back was turned when the flippant boy began to turn into a responsible man.
Wherever I was, you were there, even if my eyes were closed...
..I was hoping.
These tentative steps onward are full of giggles and grins.
If I close my eyes too long will you vanish?
If I fall asleep too soundly will it have been a dream?
I don’t know the moment I stop being fearful...
