how

I've been learning all my life how to love you
How to nurture you just so
To not just listen but hear
as you teach me things i don't know
How to give you as much
or as little as you need
How to give my truth
but never ever my greed
How to open this heart completely
to pour into your trembling frame
How to not make loving
some possessive dominance game
How to tickle you when you smile
Drink your tears when you cry
How to kneel at your garden gate
and never ever wonder why
