Unexpected Security

Do you ever sense yourself falling

For someone you never thought you could care for

But the longer you spend together

The more you know they were always meant to take up space in your life?

The kind of respect that goes both ways

And wraps around each other

Filling every open space so that as a partnership

You are covered

Head to toe

And can’t escape it

And you love it

The kind of hugs that convey so much more

The ones that feel like no matter what happens next,

You’ll be safe

That this person will keep you safe

And every time they bring you into their arms

It feels like they’re fighting the urge

To never let you go again

Everyone deserves that kind of affection

And lucky for me

I may have found it
