Feeling this way for so long ....
I've come to realise
You don't need those milestones
The first kiss. The first date. The first 'I love you'
Your feelings don't need to be acknowledged
It's not about that
What matters most
Is that your paths crossed to begin with
You had the chance to meet someone
Who had such a profound impact on you
Whether they realise it or not
You've felt their pain
You can't drive away, so you wait to talk
You know words are hard to find
But you want do anything you can
To
take the pain away for them
They're deep in thought
While the world carries on around them
You want to sit next to them, hold their hand
And when you feel them falling
Without thinking it seems
Your arm moves to steady them
They share wonderful news
You feel the joy they are feeling
Even if it takes the wind out of you
You're happy
Because they are happy
For whatever happens in life
The big things, and the small
Through happy times, and sad
Their heart is so precious to you
You want to be there for them
Regardless
They say
falling in love is rarely a single moment, but rather a culmination of such that lead you to that feeling of home. The most
beautiful thing about forging your own path in love, is that in spite of your place in their life, you can still find such peace in your time together.
