when i write
about how i fell in love with you
im not gonna write
about how in an instant
it all felt right
or how our eyes met
and the butterflies burst
i'll mention the mess of meeting
the awkward conversations
the nerves
the "what should i say?" to our best friends
the memories
the small laughs
the tingles of seeing one another any time
i fell for you slowly
this is the love i will always come back to.

k.h.
