Walk beside her.

she doesn’t like twang and rhyme
but write her a song
soul words
six string heart chords
when she hears her name in a melody
it happens in that instant
she doesn’t like chains and shackles
but tell her she is worthy
lifetime material
forever goods
when she realizes she is significant
it happens in that instant
she doesn’t like diamonds and Godiva
but bring her things that matter
a first edition copy of her favorite book
a single sunflower
when she feels understood for the first time in her life
it happens in that instant
she doesn’t like to be pressured
but give her time
thinking space
a pocket of breathing air
when she feels safe
it happens in that instant
she will not be swayed
she will not be tamed
she will not be wooed
she will not be rushed
but in that instant
she will stop running
she will let you walk beside her
