Teach me

I want to build with you

Watch you smile in the sunrise

I want to learn how to love you

To see joy in your eyes

I want to discover all the places you’ve kept hidden from others

Because you feel safe with me

Even when you didn’t think you did

Even when you told yourself never again

You let me in

Because you want to

And you know we can grow

Touching

I wasn’t fooled by your insecurity

It seems to be a recurring theme around me

I wasn’t saddened when you pushed me away

Such follies are for the weak

As lost as you were you found my light

And you held it till it burned you

Yet I could do nothing to comfort your wounds

But be

And you returned

Time and again

Each time a little more broken

Finding solace in my light
