Wash away my inhibitions, gentle soul
picking apart the lies and caressing the scars others left behind
reminding me that it's alright to exist without feeling guilty
hands outstretched while I take baby steps
saying you'll stay by my side
holding me near without wandering hands
your only goal was to feel close
nothing more to that moment
just the simplicity of your pure intention
So mesmerizing after years of deceit and cruelty
your wondrous complexity but sincere demeanor
is unlike most others
I'm not even scared of what you might be thinking
Respectful even if I would change my mind
reaffirming your almost palpable sentiment
Folding me into your arms
Thoughtfully adjusting as to not confine me
Not asking for more than I'm willing to give
Steadily earning more of my trust
Everything straightforward
your empathy so transparent
Let's stay here and embrace a bit more
Soften these memories, dearest lover
Slowly helping me replace the painful recollections
Hang on a little longer, beloved
As if our time is shorter than it is
