Nobody told me
how painful can it be
to find that someone,
a treasure for me.
Nobody told me
I had to push hard;
get out of my comfort
and lower my guard.
Did I push enough?
Maybe, since you are here.
And that, my entirety,
That is my relief.

Beautiful poem. No one told you that you had to put yourself out there. Well maybe since that person is still there, you have done something right. Well Done!!!
Oh so nice. Lovely.
