A Different Kind of Magic

Sometimes
It feels
Like time is frozen all over again

When he comes to my house
After school
And no one else is there

And I put
My head on his chest
And he twines
His hands in my hair

Breathing
In out
In out
His heartbeat
Loud and steady

this
this magic
It isn't Grace's doing
It's a magic
All on its own

But then
The door will slam
And Kylie will stomp in
Or mom
Or dad
And it's like the 99th second-
The moment is broken.

I think I've figured it out:
He loves me
Even when I'm mad
Or upset
Or sad
He sees it all
And loves me the same

Or maybe
It's that he's always there for me
Every bump
Bruise
And scratch
He's been there
And I know he will stay
Until the very end

And that's what scared me
That he already loved me
With every fiber
Of his being

But I still
Didn't want him to leave
To hurt me
Like he did before
Even though
I know he loves me
There's still that
Moment of panic
That I will one day
Not be enough

But
At the end of the day
I was a child
As was he
But I think
We cannot
Be children
Anymore.

And that's when I realized:
I love him too.

A/N: very short and not that good but I hope you guys like it!!
