I remember when your eyes met mine. It was a feeling, not so much physical attraction. I knew that you’d open me up and I knew that I’d strip you down - in so many ways.

It only took a night, a moment, a second for us to be completely naked and vulnerable for only our eyes to see and our minds to feel. Connected entirely, it didn’t feel like one night, maybe a lifetime?

That’s when I knew. As you slept, I was sleepless. As you slept, my heart skipped a beat everytime your eyelids flinched. I wanted to hold it so tightly but not tight enough that it’d slip through my fingers.

I day-dreamed about you waking up and holding me close, expressing your love to me as you gently kissed my face. You, looking deep into me, so deep you could see my hidden gems. Yes the same gems that haven’t sparkled in years.

You see, it only takes one; one moment, one feeling, one person, one love. Your eyes begin to flutter and I inhale. I guess the question is, before I see your eyes, before the sun comes up, before a word even leaves your lips… will you actually?
