Hope

Your rough calloused hands,

enveloping mine completely.

strong hands that deal with iron,

but softly caress my palm,

are you as steady as you seem?

with those creased crows feet,

and squinty eyes,

how are you so fine?

You see no flaws,

no marrs or blemishes,

You only see a person,

whole,

filled with emotions.

It's an amazing feeling you know,

trusting someone so completely,

left vulnerable beyond words.

Snd I know I am too closed off,

all these barriers that I don't even know I have.

How is it that you melt them away,

that I pour my heart onto you,

and I don't even notice?

I don't know if you know all this,

if you are actually as knowing as your eyes seem.

but even if you did,

I don't mind,

you should probably realize by now,

I trust you.
