I Fell In Love With My Doctor

Really can't seem to put my finger on it,

Don't know when it happened, but it's too late to figure it out because I'm already too deep in this,

Maybe, it was when she first walked in the room and talked to me,

"Good morning, how are you feeling today?"

The greeting didn't move me, and I turned the other way.

Clearly, I didn't want her there,

She felt it.

With one stare, she left.

I thought I had got rid of her, and she would never return like all the other interns; I was wrong.

The day didn't even end, and she was there.

"I can help you, if you allow me to but, if that's not what you want, let me know and I'll go. "

"Go."

"No"

"You just said you would."

"But, I won't."

"Give it time, you'll give up; everyone does."

Well, she didn't. Despite my inability to cooperate, she stayed.

Almost strangled her to death but, the next morning she was standing by my bed and asked, "How are you feeling?"

With her persistence and affection, I managed to get over my depression and addiction.

She was patient with me and helped me in ways that I can't mention.

I was a man known to be an addict and a violent psycho, yet she looked past my reputation.

She became more than just a doctor and within the blink of a second more than just a friend.

For once, I felt like someone actually wanted to know me and finally someone wanted to understand.

Now, not a single day goes by without me wishing I could just hold her hand.

No longer in my hospital bed but, I miss the lady that was standing on the other end.

Decided to get her flowers with a little note, "THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME."

Nothing can compare to the joy I felt when I saw her eyes shine and her bright smile,

She was happy and I knew it wasn't because of what I wrote or the thought that came with the gift,

But, she knew, and she saw that I was getting better.

If only I could tell her that my efforts to better myself were not for me but, for HER; my lovely DOCTOR.
