When we started dating
a therapist told me
"you shouldn't be in a new relationship right now"
Her point was valid,
I was in a rough spot
But a global pandemic happening
Wasn't my first thought
Our first date before
the whole world shut down
Confined to our homes
Changes abound
But deep down I knew
This was different.
I knew I was being conscientious
I knew this is something I wanted to do.
And here we are over a year later.
It terrifies me
That I can feel
This way
About another person.
You're a light in my life
Conscientious and kind
Accept me for who I am
And my sometimes messy mind.
I love our adventures.
You have taught me it's okay to be selfish
To do things just for me
To go outside and be active
Live more carefree
Yet you're still very driven
And respect that I am too
Always supportive
I truly love you.
Love
A scary word.
Scary to be vulnerable
In an uncertain world.
Attractive, strong, and caring.
Strange to say but true,
I wouldn't be who I am today
Without having been with you.
