He is here and my world slows down
He's close enough that it's hard to catch my breath
His eyes look at me and I feel seen
Steady and warm are his hands
He knows where they belong when he touches me
I am tense and let out my stupid nervous laugh
But he knows and he smiles
My body begins to soften
My shoulders relax
My thoughts get a little clearer
And my body begins to trust
God, the look he gives me
Like I matter
Like I matter in a way that seems eternal
His touch is deliberate
Every caress he is saying something without words
Every wordless inch that I feel him
I feel wanted
Not with a sense of urgency
Completely without pressure
Like he'll still be here if I take my time to unfold
He wraps his arms around me
And I am consumed against his body
Just holding me
Please don't let me go
Right here with him
I am not bracing for what comes next
He is here
I am here
I am safe
I'm chosen
