I never expected to be so invested, so soon,
I never thought I would feel love, ever again,
I never thought someone would care about me like you do,
I believed I was the problem,
That I was incapable of love,
Too emotional and dramatic, a lover of conflict,
I never expected to be swept off my feet.
I never believed this damaged goods would be appealing to anyone,
Concerned with filtering my words and my personality, in order to make someone else confortable,
But, with a flutter and a kiss, you broke me free
Said, I see you and I am not afraid, be who you are meant to be,
You see my past as part of the tapestry that makes me who I am today,
You showed me who you are and welcomed me to do the same,
So soon, you have captured my heart,
R1- August 2020
