I am enough

The way you look at me when you smile, sharing a secret, a moment just for me. A half-glimpsed peek at your soul, where mirth and micheviousness abound- equal and free.

And then gone again as quickly as it came. Back again to indifference. Back to strangers, distanced, safe.

What I wouldn’t give for half a chance.

The feeling that I could hold you in my arms, safe; for as long as safety is needed, I am there. To know- that I am enough.

To take even that meager scrap and count myself blessed. Cherished for even a moment. I am enough.
