but now here i am,
falling deeper in love with a person because of the way
the artificial light blended with the moonlight in the dark
and danced across his face.
here i am,
falling deeper in love with every breath that i take,
as if i could store each one until i had enough to tell him why i’m in love with him in a single exhale.
why that stupid little grin of his validates his own love for me,
why the effort he tirelessly devoted to listening to me,
learning me,
and loving me meant and still continues to mean the world to me
