Step into me...

Surrender doesn't begin in the mind,
it begins in the body---
in the slight shake of breath
when you move closer than comfort,
in the way your chest rises differently
when you stop performing and start feeling.

I feel it before you say a word.
Your body whispers what your pride hides.
Your pulse gives you away.

Let it.

Let me pull you into the quiet where you no longer need to pretend.
Let me watch that last layer of control slip from your voice
as your need becomes impossible to conceal.

Surrender isn't submission.
It's truth.
And truth is always the most intimate thing a man can give me.

Come...
let me meet the part of you that only appears
when you stop trying to be unshakable.
