Heartstrings and Shadows

in love with you

i guess its the weather
i don't know
maybe its you 
making me smile right now
maybe its something completely
and utterly different
but the way I'm feeling right now
might be the best way I've ever felt 

its strange y'know?
sitting here, right now
drinking our woes away
which is, i think
the only reason i like you
and no I'm not talking about sipping booze
but about you being a nice company
to cry with, laugh with, fight with
and even to dance with

hell, i didn't even know you danced
until 5 minutes ago
when you got up in this idiotic manner
held out your hand to me and said
"may i please-" oh sorry
your exact words were "get your ass up"

now, how could i reject such a polite request
I got up, held your hand and then swayed along 
by the way, i am impressed, you do dance well
those ballet lessons your mum put you in, 
when you were what? seven? paid off

also, my heart which could never bring me
to say anything, absolutely nothing nice
was now beating so hard right here in my chest
I then realized that
you were not just my drinking buddy,
my safe space or my "dear diary"
you were also the only person
who stopped me that night
from flying from this very edge,
where we drink and laugh
and surprisingly dance

now, honey don't flatter yourself
but this very charming woman 
believes she has fallen, desperately 
and disgustingly, in love with you.

Epiphany:

In that moment, everything felt different. Whether it was the weather, your presence, or something else entirely, I couldn't deny the warmth spreading through me. Sitting together, sharing our woes, I realized how much I appreciated your company. You were more than just a drinking buddy; you were my confidant, my laughter, and now, unexpectedly, my dance partner. Your simple gesture of inviting me to dance opened my eyes to a new side of you, one I hadn't seen before. As my heart raced with newfound feelings, I couldn't help but acknowledge the depth of my affection for you. So, despite my usual reluctance to admit such things, I found myself confessing that I had fallen, quite unexpectedly, in love with you.

Every moment is a chance for something wonderful to happen. It's a reminder to appreciate the people who make us happy, even in small ways. You never know when a smile or a laugh can make someone's day brighter. So, let's be open to new experiences and connections, knowing that we can bring joy and positivity to others just by being ourselves. And the next time you think about taking that flight, remember that there is someone or something out there worth the everyday bullshit.
