She was afraid to expose herself,
And the shame she faced.
Even though I declared
My unconditional love for her.
She clung to the fear
That she was inadequate
To be loved.
At least not with the conflict
with which she struggled.
I patiently waited for her to express
Her deepest regret, every day.
Once she let me in, I realized that
This woman I fell for
was just as flawed as I.
