Sharing stuff with you

I’m no longer afraid to share with you my deepest desires, my interests

out of fear of you not caring

But that’s not it, not the point

I don’t care that you care or not,

I care that you listen

That you choose to stay and lend your ear even if it’s not your thing

It feels good to share with you

to give you a peek into my mind and treasures I store inside my box

I shared with you a book about a poet I am interested in

You listened

That’s all I want

For you to look my way with your dark brown eyes

I am learning to share with you the things that may seem insignificant to you

Because there is no fear in perfect love

it casts out all fear

Your love isn’t perfect

But I know it’s true and good

I will choose not to be afraid of telling you my pleasures

My desires that light me up

Thanks for listening

It feels like freedom to speak without fear of your disapproval

But I don’t care.

This is one things about marriage. About identity

And knowing who’s I am

How He loves me

I don’t need your approval, I just need you to listen, to care about who’s speaking

Because of the one who’s sharing their heart with you

That’s what it’s about

For me

My knowing of my identity in Christ is growing

We are allowed to be two different people

Not the same

That’s the beauty of the image of God

It’s multifaceted

Like a gem

I used to try to like the same things as you

But that’s not what this is about

We can both be us

That’s the beauty of Adam and Eve

Man and woman

There must be difference

That’s where flowers bloom

Good friction

Thanks for listening dear

I’m not longer afraid to share stuff with you

This is the poetry work I’m reading. I shared some thoughts about it to my husband. And then I randomly got the urge to write this. So thanks for this moment. Random. I love moments like these.
