She was patient with me, she was willing to stay in the background
Until when I could turn and see where she was,
With a gentle smile on her face.
I was searching and needing the Other to see me
Finding ways to make it happen
And then she tapped me on my shoulder
Ever so gently and smiled
It was a whisper, so brief and quiet, like a heartbeat
But yet so powerful
And I finally smiled back
She told me she saw me
And that is all that ever mattered.
