slowly slowly

A phrase used by non-native english speakers, its meaning is close to the single slowly. The repetition could seem unnecessary but its different to single-"slowly" as slowly slowly has a positive connotation, it means chill, let things take their time, don't rush ect.

Often said by native greek speakers when speaking english, translated from the orignal greek "σιγα σιγα" (slowly slowly), who are unaware that this phrase is not used by native english speakers, and they could have just said "slowly" one time instead.

slowly falling in love 

the feeling of falling in love without even realizing it.
that person may be your bestfriend, or your crush.
it’s the feeling that you get when you get butterflies in your stomach just because of their smile.
the feeling that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you see their eyes.
the feeling that you get when you can’t spend a day without contacting them somehow.
it’s when that person is your pride and joy.
