untitled [ but felt ]

“And what if it’s already yours?”

I remember her asking me that and how my body froze for a moment,

as I did not think we would get that far with sharing and being open about things.

It took me a moment as time stood still, and the only melody in the room were my quickened heartbeats and her rushed breath even as she tried to seem perfectly at ease.

I saw her at that moment; both floating on warm waters and standing on the highest mountain, outstretching a hand for me, asking if I wanted to jump with her at the same time. And then the world released a single breath, setting something free.

“Then we will just go from there... as I will ask you the same.”

My gaze on her as the words flowed from me effortlessly.

“What if... I am already yours?”

She smiled with something that could make the darkest clouds disappear as her soft voice filled the air around us.

“Then we will just go from there.”

Sometimes it doesn’t take too much to open up.

But maybe the hardest thing... is to allow yourself to be happy.

To allow the happiness in your life, in your worn-out heart.
