Hello World!
To start us off, I’ll share with you all a poem I wrote more than a year ago after I met the love of my life. I hope you happen to like it.
Getting to know you feels like a chore
I’m constantly stressed whether I’m making you bored
We walked for miles, my feet are so sore
I’m unsure of my perfume or the outfit I wore
Getting to know you scares me to death
You walk as if you might have infinite steps
You talk as if you’ll never go out of breath
A dream I had kept through the hours unslept

Getting to know you feels like a memory
The passage of time denying me entry
The streetlights burn out in glorious envy
They continue to fade in our shadow for centuries
Getting to know you is that feeling you get
When you look for the red, glowing sun that just set
Only to find the silver, cool shine
Of the wonderful moon we so often forget
Getting to know you means
Knowing myself
Each of your looks rattles my bones
And I don’t really care if I wind up alone
Because getting to know you
Feels like going back home
