I’ve always been too eager,
Fell in love long before you.
I tried to will glances into gazes,
moments into momentum.
I wanted to love you
But I didn’t know that love was patience
Meeting you where you were at was too hard
When you were in the closet.
I didn’t want you to come out when you weren’t ready
I didn’t mean to ask for more than you could give
I never wanted to make you uncomfortable
I just wanted to hold your hand.
I loved you and you loved me,
conditionally.
Your love spanned across four walls
and I am grateful
For every square inch I had.
