in my rush to
know you,
i may have 
created a false
impression 
of you...

(i've always been impatient...)

and in my haste
to be near you
I pushed you
away,
confused and
alone...
nearly swallowed 
up by unfamiliar
emotions...

acceptance,
respect,
joy...

(i had nearly forgotten how to be myself...)

in my
excitement
over finding you,
i forgot to
to mention
that I want to
keep you...

(you tilt my world off its axis...)

your love seems so simple,
yet all-encompassing...
and if you don't mind...
I need this chance 
to re-acquaint myself
with you...

In my haste to get this right,
I got it wrong.

I hope it's not too late.

(I love you.)
