I want to love you (A Poem)

I want to love you,

Especially when love has been withheld from you in the most painful ways.

I want to see you,

Especially when you’ve learned to hide your true self you’ve forgotten who you are.

I want to hear you,

Especially if you’ve been silenced by the ones you’ve trusted the most.

I want to hold you,

After years of shivering in the cold, my warm body can become your refuge.

I want to love you,

So that you remember how love feels and you begin to share your love freely.
