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.
