growth

 i walked by where i knew i could see you tonight 

instead i went where i knew im wanted 

a warm plate of food, a warm welcome 

no reason to prove myself, no reason to ask to feel wanted 

just a welcome and a “can i get you anything”

space to share

space to trust

i think i saw you through the window on the way home 

maybe you saw me too

maybe you wish you had the night i did, so full of love

it is everywhere i go of my own volition 

you are still convincing yourself you’re worthy  of it
