No Invitation
April 15, 2021
Here.
Come.
Lay on my lap.
My ears are open.
I won´t interrupt.
Or judge.
Tears well up while I think of ways to help.
You open yourself up.
I´m proud of you.
You stare into my eyes and wonder why I care.
I want to see you happy.
I love it when you smile.
The sun sets down.
I hold you in my arms and play with your hair.
I stroke my thumb across your face and tell you ¨I´m always here¨.
You fall asleep next to me while I admire you.
Always know you don´t need an invitation to melt in front of me.
