With my eyes closed,
I stood.
Waiting, trembling,
Anticipating your disappointment.

Hot tears escaping onto my cheeks,
Heart pounding,
Fearful of the words of rejection
That would cut deeper than any blade.

And then,
I felt your touch.
Your fingertips, a light caress.
Your lips, feather soft.
Your voice, a gentle murmur of reassurance.

Soothing me,
Calming my fears,
Loving me for my own special beauty
Made visible to you
When I finally learned to trust.
