Why wouldn't I be?
He asks as I marvel over his patience, his kindness, his version of the bare minimum,
and slowly, I'm learning he's right,
but when I say how nice he is,
and when he asks me that question again and again,

the bar was in hell, and he has been leaping over it by miles,
so I answer the only way I know how:
I don't know. Ask everyone I dated before you.
