The Day I Knew

A Poem by Lyric Rune

The Day I knew I was in love with you
I remember it like it was yesterday,
because while that day flipped my world,
for everyone else, it was just another Tuesday.

It's silly, I had known you for maybe three months?
Three months of texts, call, and stolen glances
but I watched you one night as you slept
and in that quiet moment, something shifted

God it was scary, the way my heart stopped
even for a second, as I tried to process.
How could one person grow to mean everything
in such a short, intense, incredible time?

I muted the phone that night and I cried.
I cried because it was terrifying to me
The amount of space you had already taken up
In my world, in my life, in my routine

I cried because...I couldn't tell you about it.
I couldn't tell you that I had fallen so hard.
I had fallen so hard, so fast, so completely,
that you'd most definitely look at me differently.

So I keep these words, safe and sound,
and maybe they'll never meet your eyes,
or maybe you will stumble across them one day
and know I've loved you this entire time.
