You don't know how much something will mean
Until it happens.
I didn't know it would happen the way it did,
The way my heart realized that even my head wanted this.
I spent most of my day with you
Nearly intertwined.
And the way I was facing
Was only inches from your face
So close that if I had turned only slightly more left
You would know I was looking right at you.
And when I did, you looked right at me.
And so it happened that way all day
I would turn slightly
And you would too.
I would see just above me my favorite pair of eyes
And a face with a curious smile.
And I could look at that forever.
I'm sure my head wanted to also
Because that night as I lay in my bed
I turned over slightly to the left
And an image of that exact face popped into my head.
I realized then that I wanted you more than anything
Not just in my heart, but with my whole body.
