Although we haven’t known each other long
I enjoy curling up in your lap
Listening to you share
Stories memories from your past.
Each moment shared
Learning something new
That reveal precious details
About the inner workings of your heart.
The softly spoken words and gentle caresses
After standing in the background
Watching you with others
Is not what you’d expect.
Running my fingers across your cheek
As your eyes shine bright
And your smile widen
Makes my heart beat fast.
But never would I have expected
From my past relationships
To have fallen for someone
Just like you.
