Letting go
Tonight I don’t want to be strong,
I want to be soft and vulnerable and just want to be held,
strong and tight in a way I know I won’t break, because you won’t hurt me.
I want to be saved and I don’t want to feel ashamed
or feel less of a strong woman for wanting so.
I don’t want to be Wonder Woman tonight,
running a house, single mum, working full time.
No. Tonight I want to be just a girl, no thoughts, no responsibilities.
I want to forget that I am 40 years old, divorced and lonely.
I want to be okay with being fiercely independent and still saying “I miss you”.
I want to melt in your arms and just breathe,
breathe until my heart slows down, as it does when I feel safe.
Tonight, I want to return to softness and love and warm feelings,
I want to ditch any logic.
Can we do that?
