Thank you, My Dearest

An early interaction, not likened,

even a few words not exchanged

days grew into more days

closeness not favoured

slow and steady, bit by bit,

bridges were built, distance shortened

You put up with silly temper tantrums

white-rimmed smile enough to free my mind

able to see past my veil of a hard shell through the softness

a heart so sweet and delicate

learned chocolate is a huge no?!

for making my world a happy place oh my dearest, thank you.
