Those words I could feel,

Their meaning in my mind alone,

A reveal that moved me.

I suddenly felt a wall

Would no longer let my hands

Reach you, caress your skin.

Tracing a love I felt completely.

Yet in the moment I was alone,

~

“I want to take care of you.”

~

Trying desperately to catch up

I was now left alone,

Laying next to you in bed.

I could listen to your mind react,

I tried to find a way

To help understand the moment.

But your silence told me more,

The truth shattered my affection.

~

I only wanted to take care of you.
