I encountered you.

                          I am broken.

You filled my mind with your life

                           So much to learn.

Then, you gave your soul to me;

                            you made me yearn;

Not so much a collision as a long deep breath

                             not a token;

A fire, deep inside my soul.

                               I try to bank that fire;

it only burns more brightly.

                                Your gentleness is unique;

your geniuneness undeniable.

                                 you mend my heart;

with gentle touch;

                                  not ravenous intensity.

I do not ask why;

I lay down in your gentle river;

                                      and float peacefully.

No hurry, no abandonment,

                                       These are slow warm waters.

No hurry, no pain;

                                        just hope.
