The night that once pierced so sharply
slowly turned into warmth
when the feelings between us
finally broke through.
When everything had been tightly hidden,
my defenses collapsed that night—
beneath the way you looked at me.
Is this what it truly feels like
to be loved
with a love that is equal?
I will never forget
the longing that embraced itself,
the sweetness of the world in that moment.
Fingers intertwined,
finding the shape of home
in the middle of the crowd—
my safest place
in the entire world.
The love I had always longed for.
Once, we were us.
And for now,
that is enough to remember
for all the days that follow.
