"you:"
it slowly crept in
from the edges
so subtly
that at first
I didn't even notice it,
then the days went by
and more of it
became apparent
and I could no longer ignore it,
it's not like a choice
but a willingness
to accept what life is
presenting you,
to recognize the value
and decide unknowingly
that you are open to this,
as we spend more and more time
together
I recognize
how special you are to me,
I found myself at the start
thinking about you
when you weren't around
and I find myself now
thinking about you
all the time
and how I can try
to make your life better,
everything feels so easy
when you're around
that you have inspired me
to pick up all my old hobbies
again,
to end
the stresses I have kept,
to breath in the day
and be thankful for it
because it's another opportunity
to spend time with you in it,
I just hope
I can make you feel
the same way.
