Love is given, trust is earned.
To love you is easy, I see the joy you bring to your life and others close to you. You have a special place in my heart, a place not many reach. You didn't run when I showed you the cracks in my faith. Someday I might trust you with the deepest fissures in my soul. You melt my resolve with your touch, you reveal my truth with your eyes.
We met when my heart was breaking, and my spirit was torn. I thought my heart needed to be empty in order to mend. I am truly blessed to have taken the time to reach out and find something so precious. My life is richer with your presence, I yearn for the days when I catch a glimpse of your smile and feel your arms around me.
There is relief in knowing my heart can be full while keeping it safe from breaking again.
Just because I love you doesn't mean I trust you with my essence. I am learning to trust myself, knowing I can hold steady and observe until intentions become clear. I am learning that I can take a calculated risk and not lose it all on a long shot.
My trust is saved for a season when you earn it, the price is time and effort. I watch, I learn, I observe how you are with me and others. Time and experience can show more than words, showing me how you choose to live in the world.
