Taking in, *absorbing*, the love I *have* received :-)

he said to me,
‘well, I’ve never known you to take a short shower’

as if it were a simple fact,
no judgment involved.

as if he’d known me all my life,
and this was something he just *knew* about me
and judged not,
neither good, nor bad

but simply as an ASPECT of me

like green eyes
blonde hair
or what have you.
