Ink Stained Soul…

You didn’t know how to love me when you first came along.
Disappointment and tears early on.
Expectations not meant.
Communication broken down.
Fear and anxiety preventing us from building on solid ground.
Cheating and lies.
Heartache and grief.
Then something happened somewhere in between.
We held on to what held us so close.
Exploring nature, late night laughs.
Singing and dancing to of course Taylor Swift.
The way you loved me in ways you knew.
You gentle spirit let me be me.
You washed my hair and rubbed my feet.
Wiping my tears and making me laugh.
Holding me in your arms while we watched the stars each night.
Embracing my love for all things in the sky.
Evenings in our place.
That we both know.
Creating more space to let love grow.
You learned to navigate my need to be free.
You now know how to love me the way I need.
