Lost my heart
A little at a time
Line by line
Bit by bit
Soul touched soul
Pulling me further and further
One timid step after another
Until I was flooded
Overwhelmed as it hit me
Taking me aback
Leaving me breathless
The constant startling surprise
That when my hand reached out
There would be something there
Something new starting to push out
Up from the ground
Still hesitant and shy
But feeling the warmth
Letting myself uncurl
Learning to enjoy basking in the glow.
