Connection

A simple hello
The kind you acknowledge and then let go
A sliding door moment
One you could miss completely without notice
But you invested time, and then a little more
You listened, you heard
A moment of reflection
 
Recognition
 
Your need reached out to me
A desire to be known
A moment of emotional coupling
Wonder at the power of being seen
An ache of vulnerability
 
Acceptance
 
Informational sharing
Emotional caring
Intellectual pairing  
One more step, daring
 
Connection
 
Our fit completely unerring.
