you were full and fully capable
  you were self sufficient and needless
  your house was fully decorated in that sense
    you were taken with me to a point
  a case of careful what you wish for
  but what you knew was enough to begin
    and so you called and courted fiercely
  so you reached out, entirely fearless
  and yet you knew of reservation and how it serves
    and I salute you for your courage
  and I applaud your perseverance
  and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces
  that I represent
    so you were in but not entirely
  you were up for this but not totally
  you knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt
    and so you fell and you're intact
  so you dove in and you're still breathing
  so you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked
    and I support you in your trusting
  and I commend you for your wisdom
  and I'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forces
  that I represent
    you found creative ways to distance
  you hid away from much through humor
  your choice of armor was your intellect
    and so you felt and you're still here
  and so you died and you're still standing
  and so you softened and you're still safely in command
    self protection was in times of true danger
  your best defense to mistrust and be wary
  surrendering a feat of unequalled measure
  and I'm thrilled to let you in
  overjoyed to be let in in kind
