You weren’t just a moment,
You were a shift.
Because every part of you
Spoke to a part of me
I had kept hidden.
Your softness –
Against my restraint.
Your warmth –
Against my distance.
Your present –
Against my silence.
And somewhere in between,
My heart started echoing with you.
Not loudly.
But deeply.
Like it had a found a rhythm
It didn’t know it was missing.
