An Emotional Week

Been an emotional week around here. tim is going through something, and I can only watch and wait. But words run through my head after he comes to me, needing me. Last night he asked me to just hold him, as he tried to sleep. I did and he did. 

 

But I know him very well. Know his heart and the kind of human being he is. It's why I love him. And why I wrote this:

 

 

You tell me you need my arms about you tight

I know there's something, and I whisper tell me

the name of who is in your heart this moment,

Your head bows, there's damp on your cheeks

But it isn't my name there, or on your lips

 

And I hold you, strong against me, and smile

As you say: you know I love you, don't you?

I know and we are bound together in many ways

Yet, I know the man in my arms, and his heart

aware I am not alone in it.

 

There are others you love, desire and care for

But I am wise enough to know, forbidding this

Or trying to cage you, would drive me from the

Very heart I love with all of my own

To keep you, I must free the butterfly

 

So if sharing who you are and your heart

Means I can love you, then share you I will

I am not sad, or afraid, because you're here

We always will be, until one of us must go

I hope I am left, for I'd not want you to suffer alone.

  

I know one day, you'll be gone from my arms

But I don't want to know that emptiness yet.

Don’t want to think of not kissing this soft skin

I am your caretaker, your man and you're my boy

And if eternal love exists, then that is mine, for you.

Mike, I find that you are direct and always mean exactly what you say. These words are no different.

Thank you for showing us what is in your heart and mind. Being that transparent is brave.

If you know tim, then you know he has a big heart and enough love in it for many people. tim is a good person and worth all I can give him.

Thanks Mac, but I'm not so remarkable.  It's an easy choice, there is a lot we can teach our boys, train them for, but we can't change who they really are, inside.

I'm sure some others wouldn't put up with tim. I know how tim feels about me. We are both open when it comes to relationships, he needs an emotional connection, while I don't particularly. I know he loves others, but there is room in that heart for a number of people.  There are good people on GA, and I'm glad to know them. GA has been good for tim and he can stay until the day that changes.
