I saw your apprehension but no denial. I waited, not moving forward but never backing away, ever hopeful and full of want. Your smiles were questions paired with challenges; maybe you never knew that. I came to you - slowly, cautiously, fearing your fear. The graze of my shoulder against yours, the slide of my fingers across your wrist, lingering to feel the rapid beat of your pulse. I drew away when others approached, careful only for you, but you pulled me back, laughing. I came toward you slowly but when I did, you met me with an unguarded heart.
