sometimes...
a girl....
even a fiercely independent...i can do this by myself....
kinda girl...
wants a moment...
that will take her breath away....
a connection that will warm even the cold wall of reserve that she has built around her self...
a genuine surprising smile that breaks across her face like a ray of misplaced sunshine in the midst of a rainstorm..
sometimes she wants to gasp as the thoughtfulness of a prepared, planned intentional thing....
that was done just for that response...
to see her smile....
to have her genuinely react to the effort...
sometimes...a strong girl...needs to be reminded that she doesn't have to be..an impenetrable wall of fierce..
to revel in the softness that she most always tries to bury....
because softness....is weakness...
sometimes a girl needs to be pushed....
to let go....if only just for THIS minute...
let go..let me love you....for JUST THIS MINUTE....
and you can return to to the shell that you've created to protect yourself from the harshness that is life...
sometimes...a girl just wants to be held...
so that the warmth can somehow penetrate to the tiny molecule of heat, of passion that she keeps buried deep deep within her...afraid to reveal it to the world and have even that taken away....
sometimes....
a girl needs a reminder that maybe...maybe one day...
she wont have to allow that other shell to be the only face the world will see...
that maybe the smile that comes from being loved, being seen, being known....
will be the only one she needs...
