When I Get To Know You Poem by Cigeng Zhang

Your title is so precise and sets up the poem perfectly. WHEN I GET TO KNOW YOU is a crucial moment of transition in dealing with a new person in your life. Once you're past that moment other things can happen freely, trust can be felt, risks can be taken. The poem relates almost a suspended moment - will she get to know other person? Yes or No? The poem doesn't answer that question, it takes up to the very moment the speaker seems ready to extend he trust, but there's no final answer - only hope and desire.

The words are right from the heart. Keep it up.

Brilliant exposure. Words are used with skill. Thanks.
