it begins with a girl,
a hopeful heart
and a little imagination
It begins with an exchange of names,
sneaked glances
and a few possibilities.
it begins when my palm
meets my chin,
when my eyes
meet yours
and I start to wonder
what could happen if
we spread
like ink on paper,
i sat up in bed,
the date on my bedside clock read
future.
fast and lyrical,
conversations above water
and chances in the air.
then it really begins
whispers into shells
because we know
that the universe
might hear our secrets,
jokes that make no sense
I laugh anyway
because I'm too consumed
with the smiles
that your presence brings,
and playful banter
that ends in pinched cheeks
and the greatest moments of silence,
silence that is understood,
rare and kept close
to hearts of those
lucky enough to find it.
All of these beginnings
are far-fetched and honestly,
I don't know what happens after that
but I'd really love to see
if I can predict futures.
And so,
do you maybe,
possibly,
perhaps,
want to see
if these predictions
will unfold?
