Reaching

I reach out my hand so slow and soft,
Hesitation in my eyes but love in my heart,
I shy away so he does not see,
The heartache and pain that hides in me,
I reach for his touch...not just an embrace,
I look in his eyes with a smile on my face,
Seeking comfort....love...behind the strength,
How weaken my heart has become,
Oh how the road of life can twist and bend,
Wanting to feel the warmth of love again,
Can he love past the hurt,
Can he see past the pain,
Can he see all the light,
Through the dark clouds of rain.
