Let Her/Let Him

A Love Poem

Let her in.

Let her see the scars that you are too afraid to show.

Let her know what hurts and what doesn't,

And don't be afraid to let her love you.

Let him in.

Let him see what you look like beneath your mask that you put on for the world.

Let him see that you aren't afraid to be vulnerable,

And that you want to be around him.

Let her wrap her arms around you.

Let her hold you so tightly that you no longer feel broken.

Let her run her fingers through your hair,

And let her kiss your forehead as she whispers "I love you."

Let him be himself.

Let him show you who he truly is and who he wants to be.

Let him show you and tell you what he's passionate about,

And show him that he never has to compromise for you.

Let her bare herself to you.

Let her be this powerful, wonderful being that she knows she is.

Let her wear her crown encrusted with millions of jewels,

And offer to help her carry it when it gets too heavy.

Let him kiss you.

Let him kiss you as you've never been kissed before.

Let him pull you close and not let go,

And let him steal your breath away.

Let her touch you.

Let her run her hands along your body.

Let her feel what it's like to have you so close,

And let her body meld with yours.

Let him curl against your side.

Let him wrap himself around you as he sleeps.

Let him be the one to be the soft, gentle person,

And embrace his sensitivities.

Let her cry.

Let her show her emotions to you.

Let her feel the pain she's feeling,

And simply hold her close and show her that you love her.

Let him cry.

Let him show you that he isn't always strong.

Let him know that his feelings matter,

And be his rock when he needs you.

Let her show you what you never knew you needed.

Let her be the one to kiss your scars and heal your wounds.

Let her show you that she is yours and only yours,

And that she isn't going anywhere.

Let him love you, too.

Let him show you the love that he knows you deserve.

Let him tell you everything that he knows to be true,

And believe him when he says "I love you."
