Five Seconds
Five seconds.
They say five seconds is all it takes to fall in love.
From the day I met you to today I can't remember a day with you not in it. You are my shadow, comfort, happiness, protector, safety, mentor and everything in between. You refuse to leave and accept me at my worst even when my anger is directed at you. You never forgive because you see no fault, you refuse to hear my apology and see no wrong in me. Even when one of the fingers pointing towards you belonged to me.
You were my habit, someone; who was always here, to be taken for granted, to laugh with, laugh at and someone to tear apart. You were my employee, caretaker never my husband.
The night I saw your body laid motionless deprived from life deprived from air. I would have given you all the air from my lungs to bring you back. The restless inside my heart grew at the thought of losing you, at the thought of having to live without. Not having you in my life was not an option. An experience I never wanted to acknowledge ever. Something was wrong but I didn't know what. I didn't understand why.
The only person who knows where to find me is you. When no one can reach me you can. When I lose myself and am unable to find me. You do. And when I find myself, I find you there.
I can't recall the moment I started falling in love with you. It happened out of the ordinary all I did was think of you all I saw and dreamed was you. The only person I wanted by my side was you. Love is like... It's like rain. Like how the sky changes and opens so does your heart. It starts slow with a few droplets, easing its way down, without your knowing. When it begins to drizzles, you wonder and question. And when it finally pours heavy ...realizations hits.
You're in love. You can't stop it from happening. You're already drenched. There's no going back love has taken root and it stays with you when the rain stops.
You chose to work out and un-see my heart refusing to believe my words and thought of them empty. Walk out the door, walk out as many doors you can, know this though, I refuse to let you walk out of my life, I will fight for you at every turn. You try oh so hard to convince the world you feel nothing. It isn't they you fool they see what you so desperately try to un-see or consider a possibility.
Challenge my heart if you may. Tell the world what you will, tell me what you may, but don't you dare say my love is not true.
Five seconds. They say five seconds is all it takes to fall in love. It took me months. Hence I give you the time you need. As the days pass I begin to realize it won't be easy but my faith grows. Although you push me at every turn and my heart suffers as your cruel words sink in...You have always been my shield. You think your protecting me but all you're doing is breaking that very shield.
I was a naive starry bright eyed girl when I first met you. Now I'm a starry bright eyed woman whose eyes glitter in your love.Who wants you to be her everything you already have been but most importantly she wants you to be her lover and husband.
