To the man who wants to get to know me:
You know,
He hurt me.
He hurt me deeply.
My heart was not safe,
My spirit was not safe,
My body was not safe,
And it should have been.
You know,
Loving me now
Might take a little work.
I am still healing.
And if I decide to come out
I need to know that I am safe.

A quote for your day:
"In a dating and courship relationship, I would not have you spend five minutes with someone who belittles you, one who is constantly critical of you, one who is cruel at your expense and may even call it humor. Life is tough enough without the person who is supposed to love you leading the assault on your self-esteem, your sense of dignity, your confidence, and your joy. In this person's care, you deserve to feel physically SAFE and emotionally secure." -Jeffrey R. Holland (New Era October 2003)
