Tigger

​Loving you
​didn't hurt
the way other loves have hurt me.

It was clean,
​not confused or
​confusing.

Loving you
​was easy:
comforting & warm & safe & good

for my soul.

I was never afraid of you,
or me,
​or that I would do the wrong thing,
or you would.

I have never met anyone else
I ever trusted so completely to do right.

Still, I love you.
Even though you're gone now &
lost to me.

I know you're somewhere loving me
still & I'm safe
in you & it ​doesn't hurt.
