#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...

Then I saw what you meant,
Remembered all your points,
A morning with no sunlight,
Doesn't change the taste of coffee, Holding keys in the right place, doesn't make me,the greatest, but a better idiot

I am more of you now,
I learnt and did as you,
How long did this take?
Huh, You remember
Can't you be happy?
I know you will not,
stay forever, who knows,
what is in your far away mind?

After all, Lemon hangs to be picked, pressed and drank,
it's not really sweet, But we, pretend it is, I want you,
How do I know you will,
teach me again, The slow one,
you once proved to die for..
