We could have everything
Those moments, I replay
It's all a bit overwhelming
I'm not sure what to say
With you, I feel respected
There's no need to be resistant
But this was more than unexpected
So, forgive me if I'm hesitant
The last thing I want is to rush this
And see you turn away from me
To have nothing left to reminisce
So, let's take things slowly
This is far more than a passing shrug
Nothing about this feels forced
I don't have to ask for a hug
My feelings can be reinforced
Laughing at my umbrella breaking
Running through the pouring rain
After our first kiss, I was shaking
Terrified of what we could gain
Listening to your heartbeat
Synchronised with mine
Remembering your body heat
And how you smelled divine
I won't hold back from this discovery
Such a gentle touch, you're no lazy grouch
Sleeping safely with your arms around me
As we try not to fall off the couch
Completely oblivious to the others
Not wanting to say adieu
The following night, alone in the covers
It wasn't warm enough without you
With no care for the world, you kissed me
The chance of forever is exciting
I'm not going to disagree
The whole endeavour is enticing
Because I can take your hand
And walk freely down the street
Without worry of any reprimand
Or a self-conscious offbeat
You're happy just to hold me
No fear towards a lack of attraction
You've no idea how much that makes me happy
Savouring our interactions
With no effort, we can relate
Not smoked under by any smother
Finally, there's no need to wait
Two or three months to see each other
With you, I can share comfortable moments
From a new perspective, I see everything
With all your sweet bestowments
Even if you can barely eat anything
Love it when you call me sweetheart
My plans, you did suddenly change
My feelings, you did jump start
And this still feels so strange
Stoke fabulous flames from rising embers
Burning passion, even after a while
Look back and remember
Write and read this with a smile
