Maybe

When did this begin?

This overwhelming, surging feeling I experience

Everytime I see you.

Maybe it was when we met.

That fateful day

when our lives became irreversibly connected.

Maybe it was when we first hugged.

That feeling of safety, security

like everything would work out okay.

Maybe it was when we told each other

our deepest secrets,

The closeness created by sharing.

Maybe it was your acceptance.

Calm, patient, reassuring conversations

whispered into the black of night.

Maybe it’s everything

Your hair, your laugh, your hug, your smile, and your voice

which kicked everything off.

Whatever the answer is

This feeling I can’t shake must be true

I guess I

love you.
