It starts as a whisper. Maybe a word you say. A look. A touch.
Although it’s still so new, you are my first resounding Yes.
Not just as a word.
Placating.
Seeking acceptance.
Seeking approval.
Seeking validation.
This Yes… Your Yes… is real. It is honest.
It comes from a place deep within my body that melts into your safety. Safety you have worked so diligently to create. Delicately unthreading the parts wound so tightly.
Your Yes sets me alight. Makes me squirm. Makes me smile that smile only lovers understand.
Your Yes makes No’s so obvious now.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and patience and tenderness and care. Thank you for allowing me to unfold before you. Thank you for taking the time to allow my body, my heart, my soul, to say… “Yes!”
