Steven


 

How are you? I don’t know.

I think I surprise people when it is revealed to them that, indeed, I am intriguing!

I didn’t expect this-
Launched into conversation about emotions so deep I dare not admit them to myself.

But this is good, I have the urge to trust you.
God knows why.
But many others whom I respect do, so why not?

I can think of many reasons-
Unfortunately.
None if them having anything to do with you, dear.

I want to be a steady soul whom others can come to and confide in.

I need to be that person because I need that person.

I’m glad I got to tell you the things I did.
It paints an interesting portrait- I bet.

I’d love to come back to you.
I don’t know why, but I think I need this.
And I truly want to help.
