" Fireworks. Snowflakes.
Sunstroke and frostbite.

It was all that I could ask for and completely unexpected.

I expected demands.
He gifted me with tenderness.

I expected ego.
He let me experiment.

I expected disrespect.
He called me beautiful.

I expected him to expect perfection.
He taught me all I needed to know. "
