#WritcoPoemPrompt21
You sat with me under the shade of the trees,
Reading out the words that made no sense,
Not once did you lose faith,
Or let me be,
The slow and steady learner,
The butt of all the jokes,
Duffer! Failure! And more...
you kept pace with me until
I reached the end.
I love you, you said
& pulled me into your embrace.
I didn’t need to sound it out
but felt it all instead.
