She presses her heart to mine,
Puts her hands on my soul
Puts her trust in me.
I am endowed with a responsibility
I have never felt before.
to keep my promises
to protect her.
I let myself forget that she is full of this fragility when she is comforting me.
She seems so strong to me,
I can’t forget she is also delicate
& I can’t break
her.
The tear falls to the sheet
stays there on top
like a pearl
reflecting the sun
Then soaks in leaving a small
wet spot
below my cheek.
I need to be strong for her.
Hold her
Comfort her.
Let her cry into my shoulder
too.
