This is unexpected.
This is different.
This is big.
Too big.
It’s risky.
Too risky.
It’s scary.
Too scary.
It makes my pulse forget its rhythm.
It’s consuming,
in every sense.
In every thought.
In every dream.
You’ve done something to me.
And I don’t want to undo it.
So I take a deep breath
and slow down.
I don’t want to break anything.
But I want to feel everything.
I don’t want to rush it.
But I want to savour every moment
the way he watches, without letting me see,
the weight behind every hidden glance,
the pause before a smile,
the missed opportunities,
the sound of my own heart, racing.
Because for the first time in a long time,
I feel the air in my lungs
as if it’s been waiting years
just to find me.
So I don’t need grand gestures
Because in every gaze
I get my high
Because in every effort
My heart skips
Because every time you pay attention
I fall a little more
Every time you lean in
I feel the closeness
And maybe this is all there is.
Maybe it ends here.
And I’ll be content
Until I’m not
