Chapter 114 - POEM 114 : You Feel Like Something I’ve Been Waiting For

You don't feel new.

And that's what scares me

the most.

Because usually,

everything takes time.

Understanding.

Trust.

Comfort.

But with you—

it's like my heart

recognized something

before my mind could explain it.

Like I've been waiting

without knowing

what I was waiting for.

Until you.

And now—

everything feels

a little too clear.

The way I look at you.

The way I stay

even when I could leave.

The way I imagine

a future

without even trying.

And I don't do that.

Not easily.

Not carelessly.

But you—

you changed

the way I see love.

Not as something

temporary or exciting—

but as something

steady

and worth building.

And still—

I can't deny

the way my heart reacts

when you come close.

It's not calm.

It's not quiet.

It's alive.

And I like that.

I like that you

make me feel

without forcing it.

I like that you

don't try too hard—

and still

become everything

I didn't know I needed.

So if this feels

a little intense—

good.

Because real love

isn't supposed to be

forgettable.
