To Alicia

She has a grip on me.
She wants to take care of me.

She wants to submerge in my hands.
And yet actually never touch ground.

But her gentleness is a harbor for my heart.
Her whimsy doesn't turn me into a stranger.

And that she can be safe in everything I trust with her.
That it is her mind I adore.

It's the silence before the storm.
That in a while I will be engulfed in anticipation.

It's my touch that makes her realize she belongs to me.
It's the message her skin conveys to me while undisturbed.

I am safe in her eyes.
I am safe in everything she feels for me.

With just a single touch and the conviction I completely see her.
I have cut through the surface.
