Jewel
I met you, by chance, not so long ago.
I though I might meet someone smart.
I found someone brilliant.
I thought I might meet someone attractive.
I found someone gorgeous.
I thought I might meet someone friendly.
I found someone loving.
I thought I might meet someone kind, thoughtful, attentive, creative, funny
I found a jewel.
I met you, and my life changed.
I did not know it at first.
I still do not know how much, I think.
I thought you might be a friend. You are a friend, but you are so much more.
I must have been blind.
I have been woken from a coma; given life. By you.
I cannot thank you enough.
I am not stupid. I’m self-controlled, grounded, calm, resourceful, stable. But
I am powerless in your presence.
I could look at you all day, and just smile.
I could talk to you about aardvarks and zeugmas, and everything in between.
I could hug you till my arms ached.
I cannot say things well.
I do not know who I am.
I do not understand what has happened, or what is happening.
I do not know where I am going. I know this.
I love you.
