Our Prologue

Our prologue began the moment

you said, “thank you.”

The pages turned one by one

as dialogue exchanged between our lips spilled

like ink, yet settled like the stars above us,

enchanting.

As the story unfolds like

a secret note passed between two teenagers

Lingering hesitation

Whispered half-truths

Breathless laughs

entwined our words

connecting our narrative.

The plot thickens as white lies seeped through

parchment paper and fears of rejection echoed

with every flip of a new page.

A muttered “I like you,” changed the direction

of the sails and set forth a storm

that raged across the unknown.

A battlefield of emotions roared to life

As our storyline blossomed under

rough weather and past mistakes

leaving behind a trail of tears and punctured wounds.

The Ship of Dreams sailed across our pages

anchored on specific chapters

waiting patiently for us to overcome

demons, past loves and current insecurities

Paper cuts and bloodstains

Solidified page 126 as the turning point

In this esoteric story

Raw truths

Chest aches

Untangled our love language

Disconnected our short history.

Our new scene began the moment

You said, “You are it, baby.”

The page stills

as heartfelt conversations kissed our lips

like morning dew, lingering between us,

refreshing.
