she was the one
that took alot of not much
to get to know
and not in the way
that's easy to get to know
a politician
in the way
you hear and feel
someone you have known so much
even for so short of time
she was the one
that drew me pictures and cartoons
of her being sad and pretty
with hand-sewn hearts
and fairy-tale hot air balloons
what more
she is the one
that knows me
and learned me
like a well read children's book
the one you read to a child
without looking at the words
the one you see the child
follow along with her eyes
not knowing the meaning of the type-set
but instead knowing the words from your mouth
knowing that each turn of the page
is something encountered once before
not in a practiced mundane way
in a way that is comforting
and perfect and true
like you and me
learning us
and knowing us
like this one week period
where getting to know you
has been the most amazing part of our life together.
thank you lover,
for being who you are.
