My sanity is quelled by you and your presence.
Life would be so bleak without your appreciation of me,
As I would hope that my appreciation of you as well as
your offerings make you the person you are meant to be.
Was it by chance that we encountered each other,
were you sending your thoughts and wishes into the air?
Something drew me to your profile, I had to read it...
even though there was no picture there.

I sent that inevitable message that started the ball rolling
and it gained momentum despite respecting your boundaries...
Our emails and chats became much more frequent and involved,
not so much the norm of every day meetings and frivolities..
Our initial meeting was so much more than I expected.
It was so natural, like I was greeting an old friend after an absence.
The first hug in the theatre, so warm and full, smiling...
not the least bit of awkwardness or even reticence..

I stretch langoriously in bed, wishing you were there beside me
so I could snuggle up against you and enjoy you there...
lingering my mouth against your shoulder and warm skin,
while I let my fingertips reach up and lightly dance through your hair..
I drag myself out of bed, maybe there's an email from you...
knowing you're up as well, preparing for your day at work.
What I wouldn't give to be able to just be in your office
when you got there even if I was forced to lurk.

I am enjoying you so immensely, everything imaginable
learning more and more about the person you are and have been...
Revelling in all the nuances that make you so special...
from all things, voiced, heard and subsequently seen.
The journey is one that I am so willing to take with you
feeling fuelled by your own enthusiasm and eagerness...
I look forward to many more adventures together
and many, many moments of inevetible tenderness.
