You're asking me to give up everything <br />To take a leap of faith - <br />Sail into uncharted waters <br />Where there may be dragons........ <br />Because you love me; <br />You're offering nothing material <br />You're promising nothing at all <br />Just a safe place <br />A warm embrace <br />And everything that you are; <br />The closeness of pure connection <br />In body, mind and soul <br />Intimate conversation, <br />Your smiling face across the table <br />And a comfortable place to fall; <br />You're not asking for the world <br />You're not asking for my life <br />Just honest affection <br />And a loving connection <br />To get us through this journey; <br />I know your intentions are honorable <br />I know I can trust you to care <br />Although it's not perfect <br />It's as good as it gets. - <br />Be patient, I'm closing the door.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/closing-the-door/
