3. fell in love

You were my muse of serendipity,
A quaint camaraderie I surreptitiously welcomed.
A fortuitous candor I coveted,
My heart took a penchant to your idiosyncratic ways.
You abstruse my mind with your protean thinking,
I'm gallivant to your whimsical staid, yet sanguine attitude.
How fervent, that I quixotically fell in love,
I seldom lacked the fortitude against your maverick of assiduousness.
