Although we haven’t known each other long

I enjoy curling up in your lap

Listening to you share

Stories memories from your past.

Each moment shared

Learning something new

That reveal precious details

About the inner workings of your heart.

The softly spoken words and gentle caresses

After standing in the background

Watching you with others

Is not what you’d expect.

Running my fingers across your cheek

As your eyes shine bright

And your smile widen

Makes my heart beat fast.

But never would I have expected

From my past relationships

To have fallen for someone

Just like you.
