I am trying to learn to trust again,
to put behind me all the hurt and pain
that caused me to lose faith in those
who once professed to love me.
Healing is a process;
sometimes for each step forward
...I fall back two.
Frustrating to stand before me,
proffering love,
fearing its rejection
because of annihilating remembrances
of too-recent pain.
Time spent together with you
moving slowly,
restores eroded trust.
Teach me to accept love,
to learn to give it in return.
