the simplicity of connection

There’s a simplicity of it – 

The magic of two souls finding a connection.

The quick glances in public,

The prolonged eye contact in private.

The feeling that in this crazy and fucked up world,

You have somehow found somebody

That feels like the warmth of the sun,

Whose hugs feel like a calm ocean – 

With love flowing over you softly, with purpose.

Whose aura magnifies and reflects

The best version of yourself.

For somebody who was not expecting this in any sort of way,

You came into my life and just were.

From our long walks and longing bodies,

Our meetups when we just couldn’t be away any longer.

Where we needed to feel our bodies touch.

We talked more and more every day

And I learned who you really are.

I learned about your fears and favorite things,

Your childhood memories and passions.

Then before I knew it, I had fallen.

I fell in love with your energy, with your mind.

I fell in love with the way you look at me, the way you care.

The way you communicate and listen without judgement or malice.

The love you happily receive and return back tenfold.

I have fallen in love with every piece of you, 

Every inch of your mind and body.

And I will spend forever proving that to you.
