You
My darling
Are the best thing
to ever happen to me
I was really scared at first
More scared than I have been
In a long while
Because "dating" was
Such a big word
But over time you
Qualmed those fears
And I felt I was ready
To be yours
I have been so content ever since
You held me as I cried;
As I shook in this small body;
As I laughed;
And as I made god-awful puns
You introduced me to the music you liked and
The tv shows you enjoyed and
I realized our tastes are
Very, very similar
We spent hours lounging on the couch
Watching dragon ball z from the beginning
And I asked you so many questions and
You answered them patiently
You brought me flowers after I got my wisdom teeth removed
I was a ball of pain and my face was
The size of a balloon, but
You still wanted to make sure I was
Resting and taking it easy
You still teach me to love myself and
Being "thankful" doesn't even begin to cover it
