I Can Keep Loving You

Nuanced glances

Slowly smiling

Silently waiting

Thinking about

Should I start,

Hanging out with him?

Well, I did start hanging out with him.

Small chats

Goodnight calls

Waiting for the day to end

To have his company

Over that one Glenlivet peg

To myself, I was thinking

Have I started liking him?

Well, I did not just like him

I started loving him.

With each other

We were growing

Talking and laughing

Holding hands

Locking eyes

Sharing space

Caressing his face

Lying on his chest

Leaning on his shoulder

Getting used to

Waking up with a kiss on my forehead

Sleeping like a kid

Securely locked in his arms

Not worried about the fate

Doing us apart

I frequently ask myself

Do I miss him?

Hell, I do.

What I miss more

Is being in love with him!
