If you do no more than touch me
do it from the depth of you
If you do no more than hold me
embrace me like I’m priceless
if you do nothing more than look at me
see me for my innermost beauty, pain, fears, love
if you do nothing
just love me
from a distance
but do it so that I know
how you truly adore me
how you know I cherish you, and us
and appreciate you as you are
even with all the unknown complexities that you hold dear
to yourself
know that I am truth
and that if nothing else
I love you
for trying
