Remember the 22nd of March when we met for a scoop at Molly Moons

A few minutes after 7pm — Seattle skies were at its’ normal shade of gloom

I saw you from a distance as I had tried to park my car a few feet away

That spared me extra time to think of the first few words to you that I would potentially say

“Hello, how are you? I’m sorry again that I’m a few minutes late”

I tried to remain calm, but honestly my mind couldn’t keep it straight.

I knew that you had humor when you had labeled yourself as the coolest nerd

I appreciate your countless efforts for continuously keeping your precious word

You make me feel secure, you leave me without any doubts in my mind

I appreciate how you’ve openly shared your heart that is fortunately so kind

You talk and you listen, but also enjoy our silences on your cold floor in the mysterious dark

You’re not afraid to show the real you along with all your sweet and sarcastic remarks

Sometimes I’m lost for words whenever I seem to intertwine with your big brown eyes

I’m thankful that throughout this chaos, I was blessed with you, my very pleasant surprise

I apologize again for having to reschedule our first date

Maybe that was meant to happen, maybe we both needed a little more time to wait

Now you have me and luckily I have you too

I don’t know what’s ahead of us, but who exactly has a damn clue?

It’s only been a few weeks, call me vulnerable if you jokingly may

This is the happiest I’ve been in a while — thanks for choosing to stay

Love, T.
