Most things
start loudly.
With excitement.
With chaos.
With obvious signs
that something new
is happening.
But this—
this started quietly.
So quietly
I almost missed it.
A conversation here.
A moment there.
A look
that lasted
just a little longer
than expected.
And now—
it's everywhere.
In the way I think of you
without trying.
In the way your presence
feels familiar
instead of new.
In the way
this connection
doesn't feel temporary.
It feels…
important.
Like the beginning
of something
I'll look back on
one day and say—
"that's where it started."
And maybe
you feel it too.
Maybe you've noticed
how this isn't fading.
How this isn't
just another passing feeling.
How this—
whatever this is—
keeps pulling us
closer
without forcing it.
And I don't want
to ignore that.
I don't want
to treat this
like it's ordinary.
Because it's not.
You're not.
And if this really is
the beginning of something—
then I don't want
to rush to the end.
I want to feel
every step of it.
With you.
