When You Were Affectionate the First Time

I arrived home, looking forward to lay next to you, my sweet bear.

I began to caress your angelic face and told you about my day.

Then, you began to caress my face, and instead of pushing me away,

You looked into my eyes and gave me a kiss and a hug; I did not care

about anything else in the world, just this touching moment where

I felt that I was in the clouds with you. You then began to play

with my hair and also talked like some alien and all I could say

to you was that you were my princess, I wanted you to be aware

of my undying love for you, how do you make my heart dance?

I was thrilled to pieces when you caressed and not scratched me like a cat.

Before that moment, I had worried you would never show me affection.

I worried that you would be the type to not show affection when given the chance

to hug me or your father. I worried that you would become a person who is flat,

you know? Someone without emotions; I was wrong. I will forever treasure this connection.
