It all began
when I freely immersed myself
within your captivating soul
upon meeting you

I informed you, however,
in order for you to do the same
you had to dislodge the weeds
and blockades

There was work to be done
and areas to be tended to
Some days were cloudier,
while some were sunnier

I must say
I was quite surprised
by the quickness it took
for you to reach my heart

This task seemed innate to you-
to us-
My heart was yours
instantaneously

You never once
made this task
feel like a task
And I thank you for that
