Without Meaning To (nonrhyming)

For the first time I felt the power behind your voice.
I saw the man coming out from behind the boy.
I felt myself surrender to your strength.
I noticed the woman come out from behind the girl in me.
Submission humbled me before you,
And at that point I knew I needed you, respected you, and possibly even loved you.
Never once have you harmed me, caused me to fear you,
But always have you give me reason to love you, care for you, trust you.
That is what broke my chains of dislike, of frustration.
You, without meaning to in any way, made me better, made me recognize my own feelings.
Thank you.

(okay, so anyone who reads my work knows I've only written ONE other non-rhyming poem. This isn't much of a poem I know, but it came to me...I had to let it out. Thank you for reading!)
