Realization

darkness or daylight touching glimpses of you remembrances fond or awkward, slipping past my eyes I realized some time ago this wasn't a phase. Amazed, I knew I'd fallen for you and wasn't coming back to whatever normal was before. I realized I adore you and that someday, I'd implore you hoping desperately you'd feel it too and all my love has not been vain, but true. I realized my heart would not be silent when I feel love this strongly and my longing tempered by your eyes was haunting me; I realized that, though for now I compromise, and words of warning float above you, still I deeply, truly love you.
