When I asked the answer came bright like the dawn

When I asked, the answer came bright like the dawn,

a yes wrapped in warmth, but I felt so withdrawn.

Their hand on my shoulder, steady yet strange,

like holding a candle in a storm’s fierce exchange.


I stood there bewildered, unsure of the road,

a question of trust, where vulnerability flowed.

With help offered freely, I felt the divide,

a heart reaching out, but my fear had to hide.
