 A lot of
people know the surface
 side of me,
 the side they
see while
 I'm working
 or just going
through
 the day..
 But there's
another side of me ~
 an inside~
that people never see.
 It's a part
that's full of a thousand thoughts ;
 a part that
embraces love and cherishes friendship,
 a part that
understands without need for words,
 a part that
has yearnings
 and desires
 and prayers.
  The inside of me has so
many
 moods
 that the outside
never shows.
 For once in
my life, though...
 I trust someone
implicitly
 and I care
about someone in a totally
 understanding
 way.
 I feel like
it's
 okay to let
 that someone
in,
 to let them
see me emotionally
 and physically
 as naturally
and as naked as I can be.
 I have given
myself to you
 and told you
 things that
 I've never
 told another
 soul....
 You are the
one person who has seen me
 trembling and
as fearful as an injured bird ;
 you are the
one person I always want
 to take with
me when I feel
 exhilarated
 and my spirits
 are
 soaring.
 I trust you
with
 my secrets,
 and you now
know that
 you can trust
me with yours.
 This sharing....this
special sharing...
 is one of the
nicest
 dimensions
 my life
 has
 ever known.
