Taylor Swift once said, “I like the way you sound in the morning, we’re on the phone and without a warning, I realize your laugh is the best sound I’ve ever heard.”
There is something captivating about you that draws me in. It was confusing until I recognized the silent yearning that made me await each of your messages. I somehow feel like I lost my own self as I find my thoughts endlessly captivated by every small detail of your being and could not keep my focus, and yet, I do not hate that. I watched you talk and you did not notice that. The echoes of your laughter, the way you smile, your voice—they linger in my head, and I cannot help but to fall and keep falling, into you.
In each passing day, my mind was filled with the thoughts of meeting you which brightens my day instantly. Every time you flash that beautiful smile, I cannot help but mirror it—a silly, automatic response. I adore the way your hair falls across your face, which I found captivating about you. Strolling around together or our laugh filling the air, there are so many things I dream of doing, all with you. But then, the truth, we were in a crowded room but there was only silence I could hear. In those quiet moments, a hopeful ache settles in my chest, I wanna hear you calling my name as we speak.
The ground might feel like it is dropping out from under our feet sometimes, and when those moments hit, I wanna be there for you, to hold you through the night until that smile of yours finds its way back to your face. After a long day when you are weary, I wanna be the one to affirm that I am proud of you for surviving another day. I wanna stand up for you, to shield you from any harm. I desire to be your constant companion, through your days and nights. So, just come closer and I will make sure to reach your hand.
In my silent night, I whisper to the moon; hoping that there could be a day, perhaps, your path might lead you to fall for me, too.
