Falling for you

It's something strange. The moments you feel. It's in those moments that you fall in love. I don't know who you are, but our souls are intertwined. We're at a party. And the room is full. And people are laughing and talking. And that's when our eyes connect. Their malicious green stops time. We are here in this moment together and that's all there is. I fall in love with you there at the party, when your soul sees mine for the first time. I fall in love with you later that night when you brush my arm as you pass by, sending electric waves under my skin. I fall in love with you weeks later, when you're drunk and all of your secrets are spilling out. Ones you meant to keep beneath but something about the safety of the night left you unable to conceal what was inside you. You wanted your soul seen. I fall in love with you months later, when our hands are intertwined. I trace my finger along your ribs and imagine the flowers that grow beneath there. Dreams you keep in the depth of your heart, dreams that keep you breathing. I fall in love with you at the beach. While the waves immerse our feet. The waters cold but your hands are warm. I don't need to look at the water, because your eyes hold more beauty, more blue and more depth. I fall in love with you when it gets colder and you wrap me into your chest. I fall in love with you in every moment that you make time stand still and every moment that you make it go fast. You bring me into this space with you and teach me how to savor each second, because all we ever have is the time of the present. The future and the past are as real as the fantasies we hold within ourselves. All we have is now.
