he consumed her thoughts

no matter what she was doing

no matter where she was

he was constantly on her mind.

she couldn't stop herself from thinking

of how his hand fit in her own

the warmth felt not only on her skin

but her heart too

she could see his smile

hear his laughter

feel his lips

his breath

his heartbeat


everything reminded her of him

the color green

the ticking of clocks

the trees

the sky

the stars

the flowers

driving

history

science

the month of May

he was everywhere she looked


she knew she loved him

there was no doubt in her mind

but love and in love

were two different things...

right?


but if love and in love

were different

she had to be falling

because when she was with him

everything was a blur

but hyperfocused

fast but all too slow

she felt every fiber of her being

felt every nerve frying

as his fingers entwined in hers

as his hand turned her chin

bringing her closer closer closer

as his breath mixed with hers

as his lips crashed onto hers

as he took her breath away


she never realized

how hard goodbyes were

until saying

goodbye

goodnight

to him

made her heart ache in a way

it never had before

even though she knows

she will see him again soon.


he listened to her

as she poured her heart out

rambling about everything and nothing

unlocking bits of her

she hid away in the crevices of her heart

refusing to think about,

let alone talk about

with anyone


she found herself

losing herself within him

he was the ocean,

and she didn't care

if she drowned
