We talked yesterday. I feel like you are a beautiful snail, back inside your little house you carry. I would like to smoothly call you out, slowly, gently. I would like you to see how much I love you, how much I’ll care for you and how gentle I’ll be with you. I would like you to see that out here, with me, you can be sure that I won’t hurt you, and that I can be a loving, caring partner for you. I know it takes a leap of faith. It took a leap of faith for me too, and it’s very scary, out here. I’ll be patient and I’ll be here, waiting and being gently loving, for a long-long time.

Love,

M.
