Time has slowed this week
Since that night
Just a few nights ago
When we exchanged glances
And exchanged words

There is something quite special
Perhaps it’s your kindness
Or your gentle way
Or maybe your passion
As you repeatedly still me

This gentle ache in my mind
As if my space is now shared
Perhaps that’s exactly what
Is going on
In my soul these past days

I wonder often today
Who will be first
To say these words
That take us over the dim line
“I love you.”
