A short poem!

Oh what joy it is

That you reciprocate my smile

That you see the little things I do

That you understand my attempts to

Bare my all to you

That you bare yours in turn

That you hold my hand when you sense my trepidations

That you stabilize my stance when you see my wobble

That you shield you me when you hear enemy twangs

I love the surprise you give

That I never expected

That society taught me it could never happen

I love that you challenge my way of reasoning

I love that you believe more in me that I do myself

I love that you trust me to share in your joys and your sorrows

I love that you trust that I can watch your back

I love that you believe my bones can cradle your head

I love that you chose me when I chose you

Of the joys of hesed love

I love love love you
