My Gift to You

With every snowfall I get reminded of the season that is upon us.

The season of embracing hearts

And giving freely.

Of opening ourselves up

And finding dear ones near.

But I know,

I Know,

This season I won’t see you.

I won’t see your beautiful face

Your easy smile

Your warm embrace.

Instead I will spend this season

Walking amongst people I wish were you

Wishing they understood what I once knew.

But if I did see you

Just once

Just for a moment

I would wrap you up in my arms

And tell you one thing.

“You have all of this.

All of me

Is yours.”

And I hope

I hope you would appreciate it.

Because I can only think of one greater gift

And that is the gift of me letting you in

And we’ve already passed that present round

And its yours if you want it.

This is yours if you want it.

I have never felt like this before

Raised in a semi feminist home

I was never going to be someone’s property

But for you

For you

I’d be whatever you want me to be.

Because I know your soul.

I know you are good and kind

I know you think things through

I know you would make the best of me

So if you want it it’s here for you.

Not just my heart

Not just my body

But my soul.
