On our next study date,
I was privileged to learn
How well your year was progressing.
"It's only been
A week and a half,"
You said happily,
"But I love all of my classes,
And...
Things at home
Are..."
You struggled for the words,
But I understood all the same.
You smiled
At our unspoken agreement
To leave your home life
At your house
Unless you were in danger.

"I'm glad,"
I replied,
Reaching for your hand
While reaching for a better word
To describe what I was feeling,
Because "glad"
Might never be enough.
