Love

A fluttering beat,
a shuddering breath,
an unbelievable feeling.

A quick little smile,
a shy fleeting glance,
an instantly elated mood

A casual flirtation,
a quick affectionate kiss,
an omen of a perfect match.

Draw me close.
Hold my hand.
Forever, love me.
Forever, hold me.

No longer quick, no longer casual, no longer shy, still unbelievable.

I want to hold you.
I want to love you.
I want to hold your hand.
I want to draw you close.

Does your heart flutter?
Does your breath shudder?
Do you feel this unbelievable spark?

I do.
