I come to you 

For you accept me as I am 

I come to you 

For I feel safe 

I come to you 

For the quiet moments in which everything is said 

I come to you 

For you do nor shame me for my darkness 

I come to you 

For I can speak and share without thinking, without fear 

I come to you 

For I know you will not judge me, guilt me 

I come to you 

For I know it is not a duty, a compulsion, or a contract 

I come to you 

For my soul is nurtured 

I come to you 

To laugh 

To be irreverent 

To be my goofy self 

I come to you 

For I can share my dreams and, not be told that they are fantasies or that I am selfish 

I know in my heart, my darkness, my addictions, my  dysfunctional patterns 

You do not speak about them, you are gentle with me, and in that, I am becoming more conscious and aware 

I come to you 

Like the river seeking the ocean 

The child seeking the mother’s breast 

The cloud carrying water for the parched earth 

The sun seeking the place, where the sky and ocean meet 

I hope I can do the same for you 

For in love, we seek only connection, belonging and acceptance…….
