THE SPACE BETWEEN US

entry picture

If I look at you softly, will you embrace me?

Not with a physical touch, but with gentle words of comfort.

Will you see the raw vulnerability in my gaze, the unspoken longing for connection?

Will you meet me there, in that quiet space between us?

If I whisper my anxieties that swirl within, will you listen without judgement?

Will you hold space for my vulnerability, without trying to fix it?

If I show you the cracks, the imperfections I try so hard to hide, will you still see me?

Will you see to the person beneath the flaws?

If I offer you silence, will you understand?

Will you sense the needs yet to be met, the unspoken emotions?

If I look at you softly, with a flicker of hope in my eyes, will you meet my gaze?

Will you connect with me, soul to soul?
