And Then He Said He Loves Me

Once again, I jumped the gun.
My usual mistake, my precipitation,
my anxiety.
He was more careful, more mature.
He kept his feet on the ground,
what is so hard for me.
But patience is one of my virtues,
and while I had to wait for it,
I took his heart for me.
All my dreams came true
when finally he said he loves me too.
