It happened

I don't quite recall the moment it happened.

It came without warning, nothing to mark its arrival as there is when winter gives way to spring; warmer weather, buds peeking from bare branches, unfurling flowers and chirping birds flitting from tree to tree heralding that spring is here. No, there was nothing. I don't know when it happened...but it did.

I fell in love with you. It simply happened.

Maybe, simply happened, doesn't truly tell the story though. Love is rarely simple if dissected into individual elements and reasons. But it felt simple to release myself to it, freely and willingly let go - it was easy...your smile, your eyes, the way you touch me like you're touching the wings of a butterfly, the way you say my name sings in your heart and the way you treat me...there's a million reasons and I gave into them all simply and unequivocally. I felt no sense of confinement; rather, it felt like everything was now open to me, like finally my purpose was revealed, you, and us, and everything seemed right where it should be.

I don't quite know what will happen.

Here we stand, somewhere between what was and what shall be. Hopes and dreams swirl through my mind moved by you and I, our togetherness, and I plan to stand beside you forever...but forever never lasts forever so I'll content myself with right now, this moment in which I have you, and the others that come.

I don't want to wait for time...I'll make it count now and in every moment.

I won't wait for moments that might not come...I'll create them and live each one right now.

I refuse to wait for tomorrow just to tell you one more time that I love you...I'll tell you in this moment, right now. I love you.

I'll not wait for the future to bring us a life of beauty, happiness and togetherness...we'll live it in the forever of each moment we share...and I'll let the future unfold as it will knowing I have your love, and you mine...and I'll be glad it happened.
