one day, if I find myself alone with you,

maybe I'll finally admit how content I am

to simply sit alone with you

to match the pace of my breaths with yours

to feel you exhale on my skin

 

if I were bolder, I'd press my palm against yours

and carefully intertwine our fingers without second thought

holding on without worry or fear of being ripped away

 

one day, if I find myself falling deeper for you

maybe I'll finally admit how in love I am

and simply sit alone with you 

matching the pace of my breaths with yours

to hear you admit it too


The author's comments:

This came to mind while thinking back on an evening I spent with my boyfriend. We're both quite awkward and shy, and so I decided I wanted to write something that conveyed the way our relationship works. It's a shy love, and it's a quiet love. The kind that's scarcely spoken of, but you can always feel it. It's shakey and forgiving and promising and it's everything I've every wanted to write about.
