We speak in glances, like that’s the only safe way to say your name. I’ve learned the art of almost; almost touching you, almost saying what I feel, almost letting the world see what burns so easily between us. But this, this isn’t small. I love you. In every quiet moment, in every look I can’t hold too long. And you know, don’t you? Every secret second is me choosing you, even when I’m not allowed to.

Seventy . Almost
We speak in glances, like that’s the only safe way to say your name. I’ve learned the art of almost; almost touching you, almost saying what I feel, almost letting the world see what burns so easily between us. But this, this isn’t small. I love you. In every quiet moment, in every look I can’t hold too long. And you know, don’t you? Every secret second is me choosing you, even when I’m not allowed to.
