I thank you for your slow introduction,
I thank you for being so warm and open.
I thank you for sharing common interests,
I thank you for giving me my space to rest.

We spoke through messages for a month or so,
As if you knew I was a better writer than speaker.
I told you opinions nobody else shall know,
Your joy and optimism made me want to get better.

I thank you for speaking in such elation,
I thank you for meeting me at the train station.
I thank you for trying even when you were tired,
I thank you for laughing and making me inspired.

You showed such interest when I wasn’t looking,
It was a chance I was skeptical to commit.
Any suggestion I had you...
