When you finally say
what comes from deep in your
heart;
when you lose the ever-present
filter;
when
care,
love,
connection
become as real as
matter;
you may experience some aftershocks.
We aren’t used to being
that vulnerable,
that honest,
that raw.
You may want to take it all back,
fearing you might be misunderstood
or seen as too intimate.
Don’t.
Let the moment live
as a time when formality
overcame the barrier of
false propriety
and expressed true
humanity.
