The Confidence of Affection
The Confidence of Affection
When you feel loved,
really cared for,
held,
nurtured,
respected,
given the affection
you need,
want,
and desire
as you enjoy
and appreciate most,
you feel empowered,
valued,
enjoyed
for who you are
and not simply
for what you provide
or how you
can be used.
Your best friend
can say anything
to you
because
that person
has proven
over and over
where their
true loyalties lie.
You lover can say
or do things
on the spectrum
of humanity
that no other person
could possibly
get away with
because real affection
is one heart
saying
trustworthy things
and doing things
that are meant
in the most
supportive ways.
This is the confidence
we can have
in honest affection.
