When I Do....

When I do give myself

I give of myself freely, openly

I don't want to restrain, hold back

When I am ready to give myself

I give to you willingly, honestly

I don't need secrets, hiding my feelings

When I make a decision now about myself

I go into the decision knowingly, scared

I won't make a mistake, or get hurt

When the time is right, and I bloom from my chrysallis

I am moving forward, not looking back

I know what is meant to be will be, and it may hurt

But always know this:  It mattered to me - it ALWAYS will.
