You came to me as if in a dream
You took my hand and sat with me
as I allowed you to enter
my life
my heart
and my soul

Your heart listened while I spoke
and you read between the lines
of my grief
my loneliness
my sadness
and my uncertainty

You enveloped me in your arms
as you took me under your wing and
into your life
into your confidence
and into your heart
And you loved me for simply being myself

Never have I felt as safe
as I feel right now
no part did I have to play
no person was I pretending to be
No actor was required on this stage
You saw the real me
as I offered you residence
within my soul
You accepted all of me myself and I
