You know,
It only takes seconds to fall in love,
It’s the little gestures;
The sneaky glances with each other across a room,
The coincidental bumping of shoulders,
When we walk past each other;
Catching him staring at me from time to time,
Like I’m the most beautiful woman,
He’s ever stumbled upon,
Him covering up for my mistakes,
The fact that he knows my favorites
TV shows, favorite poet,
Favorite movie, my music taste;
All these scream the word LOVE.
Just like that,
I smell him everywhere; his scent,
I see him in every object I come across,
In novels I read,
In songs I listen to,
And in dreams when I’m asleep.
That to me; to him,
Is what love is.
