When Your Heart Spoke First
A Whisper Between Two Hearts
I didn’t know the world
could become softer
simply because someone walked into it.
But then you did—
quiet as a breath,
gentle as a thought I’d forgotten to dream.
There was a moment,
small enough to miss,
where your eyes found mine
and the air shifted—
like time paused to listen
to something only we could hear.
And my heart,
unrehearsed and unguarded,
moved toward you
before I even understood why.
It recognized you.
It always did.
Since then,
every ordinary hour has learned
how to glow a little differently.
The day bends toward you.
The night holds you like a promise.
And I—
I have become a quieter person,
but a truer one,
because loving you
taught me the language
of all the things I never knew how to feel.
If there is a truth I belong to,
it is this:
the world began changing for me
before I knew your name—
because your heart
spoke first.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"
