If It Finds Me

Sometimes

when I read you,

there is a line

that feels warm in my hands

as if it has already known

the shape of me.

I never quite know

whether to hold it

or let it drift back

into the room

with everyone else.

You once said

that if something were mine

you would place it there.

I think

I am simply learning

how to wait

for that moment.

Until then,

I will read gently.

And if ever

a word is meant

to rest against my skin,

you need only

let me feel

that it is safe

to keep it.
