I thought I would never find anyone
Life was meant to be lived alone
No one could possibly come for me
But then you did
A message I sent, waiting
Grasping at a ghost of a hope
She probably won’t even reply
Then you did
I sent an apology
I’ve done something wrong
I’ll never get her to come back
But then you did
A spaceman with a lasso joke
Finals kicking time under a mat
Surely you’d never give me your number
Then you did
Talking for hours
Conversations never ending
I thought no one would go for a dork like me
But then you did
Wasn’t long before the calls weren’t enough
We needed to see faces
I wondered if you would really Skype me
Then you did
The very first thing I noticed were your eyes
They struck me like lightning
I never wanted you to look away
But then you did
You hid your face to smile
You hid your face to laugh
But your happiness sang to my soul
I wanted us to Skype again
Then we did
Every time I saw you
I could never find a flaw
Your perfection was astounding
Surely you had nothing to hide
But you said you did
What you didn’t know in your confession
Is you had given me a life’s mission
To make you see the perfection I saw
So I can say
“Then you did”
Because from the first time I met you
And every moment thereafter
I didn’t think you could get any more perfect
Then you did
For my angel
