This was written a while ago, but I was too much of a coward to post it.

Once I told you I thought I was falling for you
Please forgive me - but I lied
I already knew I had
Pride and fear kept me from admitting the whole truth

I've never met anyone quite like you
Funny, fierce, loyal, polite
A gorgeous person, inside and out
Yes, scars and all - you wouldn't be you without them

I wish you could see yourself thru my eyes
You see someone the world is cruel too
Picked at for being different
I see someone who learned to look past bullshit and see truth

You've been hurt, hense do not trust easily
You do things cautiously, thinking every step thru
Trying to protect yourself
You have times of levity where you just enjoy the moment

I worry, I won't meet all of your criteria
You won't let me in
You won't give me a chance, no matter how hard I try
Those are the times I despair and feel empty

For as little as I've known you, you've impacted my life
Inspired new and interesting self discoveries
Reawakened old forgotten ones
Meeting you has changed the way I perceive things

For that I thank you!
