the day we first talked

Neither of us knew that conversation would matter yet.

Somewhere in London, it was already night.

I had no idea that night would come to matter to me.

one person I'm really glad I met.

some of the things I love about you

How beautiful you are — though you already know that.

Your smile.

Your eyes.

The way you laugh.

The way you think.

How clever you are — and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

That you have dreams — and that I already know you'll reach them.

Your taste in music.

And one day,
a piano between us —
both of us playing.

for later

When you want
to hear my voice.

This one's still waiting to be written.

a poem for you— as promised

It's strange, knowing we're this far apart —

but we still look up at the same moon.

I'm really glad I met you, Shania.

For now, this is our little corner of the internet.
