I broke my rules,
because I needed to hold on to something
anything
that’s ours.
I craved your words,
desperately.
Yes, I still have one saved on my screensaver,
But I wanted something new,
something to remind me again
of how it all began.
So I went back to our old chat,
to that very first “hey.”
I still remember how excited I was
I couldn’t stop smiling
as I read the thread unfold,
seeing how much has shifted
since that single word.
I don’t think I have ever admitted it,
but I knew you were trouble from day one.
I knew if I followed through,
I’d end up right here
and still,
I risked it anyway.
So today,
I’ll let my anchor be the times
you made me smile,
And made my heart skip,
and I’ll carry that with me
as I wander through my town,
seeing it through the lens of you.
Not sure how it all started, here is the story of how it all began.
