Words of Art – Day 109 – You Got the Best Part of Me

You Got the Best Part of Me

Loving someone is about
Giving the best part of yourself
To another.
That quiet, vulnerable, deep
Place that we all keep hidden
And under guard until someone
Shows up who has the key.
Once open, there is no turning back.
There is no test run.

You unlocked that special part of me.
I gave it to you freely.
I gave it to you knowing the cost.
I am thankful that you have
Taken good care of it,
Appreciated it, understood it.
You got the best part of me.
You got the real me.
