It was a case of infatuation
One that sneaks up on you with little thought.
It wraps its arms around your heart
And refuses to let go
Until you accept that it is now a part of you.
Dancing around the kitchen in matching pajamas
The comfortable silence that ensues a deep conversation.
Words are not needed as you know what one another is thinking
Mundane tasks become pleasurable with their company
Fight or flight reflexes appear during arguments
So stubborn and sure neither can be wrong
Cracks appear in the frame
Doubt and worry seep through
Until resolution peaks over the horizon
Communication dispelling the fear
These little moments sneak up on you
The memories filter through
As they give more of themselves to you
Each a piece of a puzzle
Coming together to form a picture you hold dear
It was a case of infatuation
One that grew beyond words and thought
A hope now accompanies it
Hand it hand
Where maybe one day
You can be the final piece to their puzzle
Their best friend,
Their partner,
Their companion,
The keeper of their heart
For life.
