Slowly Falling in Love

In the stillness of the night,

When the world is hushed and still,

I find myself lost in thought,

As my heart begins to fill.

It's a feeling that creeps up on me,

Slowly and softly, like a breeze,

A warmth that spreads through my chest,

As I realize what I see.

It's a look in their eyes, a touch on my hand,

A smile that lights up their face,

It's the way they laugh at my jokes,

And the way they fill up my space.

It's the way they make me feel,

A sense of peace and contentment,

A longing to be near them always,

And a yearning to be present.

It's the way they make my heart skip a beat,

As I catch them looking my way,

It's the way they make me forget everything else,

And just want to stay.

It's the way they make me feel alive,

As if I'm seeing the world anew,

It's the way they make me want to be better,

To be worthy of their love too.

Slowly falling in love is a journey,

A path that weaves its way through our hearts,

It's a dance between two souls,

As we learn to love and to part.

So I'll cherish this feeling as it grows,

And hold it close to my heart,

For slowly falling in love is a gift,

That fills us with joy and art.
