Chapter 121 - POEM 121 : I Think I’m Already Yours

I didn't notice

the exact moment it happened.

There was no sudden shift,

no loud realization,

no dramatic change

that told me—

"This is it."

It was quieter than that.

Softer.

Like something

slowly finding its place

without asking permission.

And now—

when I look at you…

it doesn't feel like

I'm discovering something new.

It feels like

I've already chosen.

Like somewhere between

all the conversations,

all the pauses,

all the moments

we didn't fully understand—

my heart

made a decision

before I did.

And maybe

I never said it clearly.

Maybe I still hide it

behind calm words

and careful distance.

But if I'm honest—

I think I'm already yours.

Not in a way

that takes away my freedom—

but in a way

that gives it direction.

Because out of everything

I could feel,

out of everyone

I could choose—

it keeps coming back

to you.

And I don't fight it anymore.

I don't question it

like I used to.

I just… accept it.

Because some feelings

aren't meant

to be controlled.

They're meant

to be understood.

And you—

you feel like

something I was always

meant to understand.
