If I Were A Book

first love

Whenever I saw you, I never had butterflies in my stomach like in the movies.
But instead I felt calm like someone had given me a tight hug after a long day.
And my heart didn't skip a beat but instead paced like I was climbing mountains by just sitting there and staring at you.
It was never love at first sight but rather fascination that pulled me in, like a moth to a flame.
It started with friendship, a beautiful journey from playing together everyday to being together forever.
Falling deeper everyday yet never realising just how deep I was, until I had flown far away from you.
I tried to forget you, but that way just led me right back to you.
And for a while things went great but just how a moth burns when too close to the flame, so did our love.
And in the end I realised that we were always meant to be.
Just never meant to last...
You were my right person but the wrong timing, type of love.
And one day I hope I can say that that's ok
But for now I'll continue to think about the way you smiled, the way your eyes had little dimples, how confidently you spoke and how just thinking about you right now put a smile on my face.
