Afterwords

When I first got you
I was hesitant to touch you
You seemed so fragile
And I didn’t want to mess up

We can only move forward despite mistakes made
When my hand touched your body
We began a new chapter
On an entire new page

Every stroke of my pen
Was delicate as a spider web
Now I’m trapped between your covers
Expressing every thought and desire

I’m the most myself with you
That’s our present
You know the least about my past
And you only care about my future

I will never hurt you
Praying you will forgive me if I do
And as we lay in my bed
Thank you for being my Journal
