Sometimes everything clicks –
Just a glimpse and I know it’ll be gone.
In the midst of the chaos and confusion,
the sun set on the “almosts”
and led to this golden dawn.
There you were,
unassumingly + perfectly placed in my world;
waiting for me.
I don’t remember how it started, or how exactly I was led to you,
But you make sense.
In the middle of it all –
Fire alarms, crowds of people,
You found me.
There are only flashes of everything else --
Brown eyes, your shirt, the color green, drunken conversations about Parks and Rec,
a piece of gum, the way you looked back at me when you got in the car…
a sureness that I’d see you again.
Here we are in this golden hour.
I know this epiphany won’t last forever --
I'll hold it close while it does.
You overwhelm me with this feeling
that everything is falling into place.
Even if it’s all gone by sunset,
I’m glad it all led to you --
right now.
