Not like it’s something new,
not like it just arrived today,
but like something that has been growing
quietly
every day I’ve been with you
Can I say it
in a way that you feel it,
not just hear it
Because loving you isn’t loud for me
it’s in the small things
the way I think about you
even when nothing reminds me of you
the way your name feels like home in my mouth
I don’t even remember the exact moment it became love
It just… happened
somewhere between your smile
and the way you understand me
somewhere between our conversations
and the silence that still feels full
And now it’s here
steady
real
mine
So let me say it
not because I have to
but because I want you to always know
I love you
Well....,
*Can I tell you that I love you...!?*
