love is powerful and dangerous. it can mean a million worlds, as easily as it can terrify. some people are terrified to express love, in fear of rejection. or sometimes, they're just worried they fell too fast. for some people, waiting is the only logical option. be casual and shallower until their lover reveals his consensual feelings. then, sometimes, just sometimes, she lets loose and says things that would scare most people away. then again, he is not most people.
it started with your slow smile as i stood on my toes and closed my eyes to kiss you
then i noticed your walk and your hands and their harsh angles
angles that softened when they traced my face
angles which softened even more when they mapped the curves of my body
hands which i came beautifully familiar with
almost as if they were meant to melt into me
i began to notice how you laugh with your entire self
your eyes smile with your lips
your entire body goes limp and loses its composure
and you laugh
i noticed your grace
i noticed the willingness in your smile and your posture
how you meant it with every fiber when you said "yeah"
and that breathtaking smoulder
you are every variation of the word "magnificent" in existence
and it was so easy
falling in love with you was like falling into your grasp
your warm embrace
embrace: to hold tightly in one's arms
you are correct when you say that love and passion are different
they are like night and day
yet they are so easily confused
i am one of the few whose eyes are unveiled in the reality of the world
i see all its impurities and marvels
i see the truths
i am able to identify passion and love and infatuation and lust
i am able to recognize the razor thin lining
i know with all of me that for you, i feel both
passion and love
and among earth's imperfections and wonders,
you, my love, are the greatest wonder of all
