i want it to mean something
and i think i can trust it will
when i’m no longer second-guessing
when it doesn’t feel so frail
wearing reassurance tightly tied
around me like a belt
and confidence seeping through my veins
replacing any shame i felt
lo-and-behold right now
no one can reach the inner me
and perhaps that is how it is
and how it needs to be
but there will be a time we will meet
and it will feel better than anything
and i will look at you and say,
“i knew you would come to me”
and that precious moment, when it arrives
will mean everything
