One Moment

There’s a moment

A moment when you look at them and you just know

All your doubts, excuses, reasons it wouldn’t work, disappear

You can feel it in every fibre of your being

This is who you’re in love with

There’s nothing you can do about it

It can arise from the most mundane thing

It comes from one look, one laugh, one conversation

You’re done, you fell, you’re in love

But how can you tell?

The butterflies you first felt, go away

Their presence no longer makes you nervous, it calms your soul

It’s when they become your best friend

You want to talk to them about anything and everything

Little things they do put a smile on your face

The small anxieties you felt, the things you worried they would care about float away

You can tell that they care

When they remember the little details about you that you don’t even remember telling them

There is a calm that sets in

A peace you find in just being with each other

All of that happens in a moment

One moment and you’re in love
