i swore i was steady,
that i’d built walls high enough
to quiet the wanting.
i told myself
i could learn to let go.
but last night,
you spoke,
and every word
was gravity.
suddenly,
i wasn’t standing still anymore.
i was tumbling—
the way i did at the start,
when even the sound of your name
could set my pulse off-beat.
you laughed,
and it lit me up
like the first time
i realized i could never unsee you.
and here i am,
caught in your orbit,
dizzy with the sweetness
of rediscovery.
i don’t know if you know it,
but i’m falling,
again.

ive been thinking abt giving up on the boy i love (we're not in a relationship, he's just my crush). but last night we texted again and i remembered why ive been waiting for him for so long and it just felt like rekindling the spark i almost lost for him. hope you enjoy:3
