2 hours
23 minutes
35 seconds
That's how long it took for me to realize how much I love you
That's how long it took for me to fall hard for you
Maybe it was the soft spoken words
Or the small giggles we let out
It could've been how we talked
The way your voice dripped like honey
How rich and smooth it was
Or it might've been how even in the silence it felt comfortable
Nothing awkward about it
Maybe it was the way you cared
Or how sweet it all was
Or how I felt myself yearn to hug you as you said you'd probably cry
How horrible it felt to hang up
But so amazing at the same time

I love you
I love you too
2 hours
23 minutes
And 35 seconds
That's how long it took for me to say
I love you
That's how long it took for me to hold it in
How sweet it was to finally let it go
Just say it
And when you said it back
My heart bloomed
Only to stop midway and shrivel
Because I hung up
Because I said goodnight
When I should've just kept talking
I hung up
My heart shriveled as you talked about him
But it bloomed the second I heard you say it
It's still blooming
Even though I hung up my heart is racing
My cheeks feel like they've been set on fire
It took 2 hours 23 minutes and 35 seconds for my heart to bloom for you
I hope yours did too
