I

f I tell you I am hurt,
you will withdraw
building the limits more narrow
so misunderstandings have no room
to grow
and neither does
our love.

Don't fence me in.
Let me freely roam
the planes of your body,
the peaks and valleys
of your spirit.

Yes, that's it!
Nurture me!
Let us grow.
don't stifle me
and hope
I'll fade away.
