I can feel that when I kiss you

The smallness of your face and lips

In that their delicacy intrigues me

In a deep and primal way,

And in that strength it gives me

I am able to feel that lovely vulnerability

The nature of your character

In that human way, always fighting 

Against these creeping parasites of shallow depth.

To be present here with me,

That you are so strong, so wise,

While you are still weak.

I hope you know I love you unconditionally
