His Need

There is a vulnerable strength in needing a man not to take care of you, but to care. 


The need of his desire to know you in all your pieces.

To need to see that carnal spark when you slip out of the days stresses and into his arms.

The need to feel his hands on your body

To need to wake in the night and feel his quiet warmth beside you

The need to feel his palm on the low of your back, a reminder of his guard.

To need his hands in your hair, brushing it away from the eyes he loses himself in.

The need to know you contain both his strength and his weakness 

The need to rest your head on the chest that holds your heart.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
