How long does it take to fall in love? With you it took one chorus to one song about drugs. The short lived sensation when my fingers briefly brushed upon yours as you passed me a glass of gin was enough. We lost contact. I forced feelings for people who couldn't see me for who i was. You carried on with your life.

You ask again how long does it take to fall in love?
With you a double tap on Instagram. I was hoping you'd remember me. After all these months it seems i imprinted on you. The shy girl with the blonde braids who didn't say much but laughed a lot seemed to have lingered in your prefrontal cortex. I wasn't sure i could love you. But here we are

How long does it take to fall in love?

I quarrel with feelings of inferiority, struggles of immaturity and the notions that loving myself is rooted in immorality because the bible said beauty is vain. I can not answer you but should you ask again how long did it take to fall in love with you.
I'll tell you it took one hug, stolen during times of self isolation. It took one trip to buy bread and an appropriated kiss. It took one conversation about ambitions. It took another conversation about life's hardships. It took however long it takes for your pinkie to hook into mine to seal promises we make to each other.
