Insecurity spotting.
Eyes batting.
Now-- eyes dropping.
Lip licking.
Bravery spouting. Slowly. Slowly.
Words fluttering.
Dancing around the thoughts that are formed.
Passing between the truth, and what is easiest to speak out.
Stems twisting long amber strands of hair.
Your encouragement is given through a smile.
An ever so slight, carefully still, smile.
In the end, that was all the encouragement I needed.
That slight, careful smile.
It took me. Took hold of me.
I am indebted to that smile.
Truth emerging.
Secrets flowing.
Finally-- trust forming.
