and that’s when it happened,

us.

it wasn't a moment of realization,

not a second of revelation.

it was a light snowstorm

that covered our hearts with stardust.

when you cried so deeply,

and i held you in my arms

and kissed your forehead.

when i yelled out in pain from living,

and you whispered,

i'm here, baby.

when we kissed

and my mind had no other thoughts

but of you.

when i saw you for the first time after

less than a day

and was immensely relieved to feel your safe touch.

when i held your hand

and knew that this is the soul

i am going to live my life with.

that's when i knew.

i'm in love.
