EMPATHETIC LOVE

Laying quietly
Holding on close
Not sure what will happen
Just cherishing the moments you have.

You share your pain
The abuse you've experienced
Not sure what he will think
But cherishing the fact that he will listen.

One more story
Or maybe two or three
It seems the abuse was endless
When you were there.

He holds you close
Tells you the bigger the person the harder the fall
And you hold him tight
Knowing no matter who you are the pain hurts just as bad.

You sigh
And relish the love he offers
Without even telling you that is what it is
He doesn't know.. he's never been in love before.

He pulls away ..just a little
And looks into your eyes.
First one tear..
Then a second fall.

Shocked
You ask what's wrong.
You hold him tight
You don't want him to cry or to hurt.

"It hurts me so much to know how you've been hurt.."
You look at him
Grateful to be so cared for by someone with such a big heart.
Kiss the tears away and hold him again.

Never knew someone could hurt
Just because you did.
The pain seems to dissolve as his tears dry on your lips.
Two tears that dried a thousand you cried before.
