I put flowers in the kitchen–
Did the dishes and swept my floors.
You said yes to being my valentine, and it was enough.
I washed my bedding and put a carpet in my room;
Made space in my life for the quiet warmth you bring.
You asked me if I was free tonight, and it was enough.
I showered and shaved and put on the comfiest clothes I could find-
Added my best perfume to my wrists.
You said you’d try your best to come, and that was enough.
Now I’m quietly waiting on my couch-
My dog curled up like a fluffy burrito beside me;
Soft in my blanket and warm at the thought of being in your presence, and that is enough.
You’re gentle and sweet.
You’re up front and honest, respectful and quiet.
We are slow burning into the most stable relationship I’ve ever had-
And we are enough.
