Never
Never did I dream that
So intertwined, so separately
Our paths would cross this way
So intimately, so deeply
Never have my footsteps
So quickly, so easily
Fallen in sync with another's
So naturally, so happily
Never have I felt this way
So scary, so amazing
Grounded while flying
So proud, so full of awe
Never could I truly see
So oblivious, so blind
How ignorant my heart was
So selfish, so masochistic
Never was I treated
So respected, so admired
As a true equal
So fairly, so new
Never have I realized
So depressed, so low
That I have and talents and gifts
So precious, so eye-opening
Never have I loved
So sanely, so smartly
Nor have I been loved
So truly, so honestly.
Never did I dream that
So intertwined, so separately
Our paths would cross this way
So very intimately, so very deeply
Thanks for seeing me
Not my body, not my silhouette
Thanks for being selfless
So rare, so special
