The Quiet Way You Stay

I was thinking today about how love doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes it just settles in slowly, like morning light filling a room until you can't remember the dark. One day I looked up and realized you had quietly become my whole world.

I don't need a special occasion to tell you this — I just need the truth of what I feel when your hand finds mine without looking. You are the best thought I have ever had, and I will keep thinking it for as long as my heart knows how to think at all.
