And in an instant, her heart was full,  for he fell in love with her…

You walked so sure, and knew too quickly, Like you’d planned what needed to be said; You took your stance and got us drinks, Never captured by my gaze.

I love you… I always knew I did not know, A wanderer learning as she goes, Never knowing the cost of her learning.

I stopped and took a breath; I stopped to breathe. I took a breath to see my truths; I took a breath to not become The hamsters on the wheel all around me. I took a breath as fires are being set alight; I took a breath because I didn’t know how To let you in without losing a bit of me.
