The Encounter

Encounters are not offered.
They happen.

And only after a man has shown—over time—
that he understands how to give,
how to remain consistent,
and how to place himself correctly without being guided.

I don’t meet men to discover who they are.
I already know.

If I allow proximity,
it’s because something has been proven—quietly, repeatedly, and without negotiation.

Most men will never reach that point.
