Parker
For me,
love has always been a heavy,
and an urgent thing.
It’s always hit me
fast and hard,
knocking the oxygen from my lungs,
leaving me
breathless
and aching.
But you’re different,
you’re subtle
and steady.
My feelings for you sank in slowly,
a little at a time.
There was no burning moment of realization,
only a soft glow
that grew
and grew
and is still growing
inside me.
I don’t want it to stop.
With you,
I feel lighter,
and my breath comes
easier.
This love is different.
It’s new.
But it’s better.
It’s sweeter than the others.
