Sonnet: This Is How I Know

It does not have to be overtly said-

We can just sit, gaze, giggle, share  and smile;

All these little things, fill me til I’m fed.

It satiates, takes me along the while.

Getting to know your nuances, your care;

Breaking through your shell and holding back mine

Allowing a congruence; love we share.

But, what if the ugly pasts reared their heads

Sharpening claws, restricting our progress

Will you run away, filling me with dread

So  it would halt our forward congress?

Come…stay with me, along the way we go.

Come…wrap yourself around me as we flow.
