and i recall the night where we sat in the backseat of your moms truck
the streetlights peaking through the sunroof
contouring bits of your cheekbones and highlighting your flaws
our fingers intertwined matched together like a jigsaw puzzle
the way your eyes pierced through mine
you weren't just looking at me but at my soul
and how you made me feel so beautiful but so self conscious at the same time
and when you leaned in to kiss me
even though we had done it a million times before it felt like the first
when you whispered i love you into my ear making my ear drum rattle and a lightning storm erupt inside my body
and how you hugged me so tight i felt your heart beat
and heard your blood coursing through your veins
it was in that moment
in the backseat of your moms truck
where i realized i was truly in love with you
