I thought I fell for who you were,
but instead I fell for who you weren't.
you weren't judgemental
you weren't degrading
you weren't impatient
you weren't irrational.
he was everything you weren't and
you were everything he wasn't.
you're respectful
you're supportive
you're honest
you're you.
and when he questions
why I came to you
tell him
it's because
you're everything he's not.
