she only wants him
to hear her
to feel her syllables
like a feather touching his skin
even for a second
so she keeps trying
for that triumph
why? because she loves him
what else can she do
but wait for his cocoon to open
on its own time
she cannot open it for him
though he secretly wishes she would
to free him of his prison
she knows its in the struggle that he grows
she can relax though
she gets forever afterall
because he walked into her dream with a purpose
to never leave

i’m glad it touches another
because he walked into her dreams with a purpose
to never leave
We all search for that person, don’t we? Sometimes the threat of pain still doesn’t make it worthwhile to be alone.
everyone we meet happens for a reason..
How beautiful and touching.
