I never thought you noticed me
like I noticed you;
stealing glances, praying I'd catch your blue eyes.
But here you are,
right in front of me --
It's you
+ your eyes
and the way they make me feel lighter when they look into mine.
+ your hands
and the way they they hold mine like they've never been unattached,
and how they make me feel like I finally found the home I've tirelessly searched for.
+ your words
even though I know they're old and worn, and given to every one before me,
I know I could fall in love with them anyway.
The possibility of you is enough.
