Evermore

I was mad at you today

For a moment

Instead of shutting down

I let you know

You didn’t know how big of a deal that was

In itself

But you explained yourself

I didn’t need to hold it against you

And we moved on

We can always move on

The longer you are here

The more I learn

About the damage I have lived with

And thought I was managing

I tell myself how you will respond to this

Or that

But you never do

You always surprise me

With your constant calm

And support

I can recognize the storms I create

And I can calm them now too

You are good

You are good for me
