Sewing my heart back together.

When I first heard

The words ‘I love you’

Come from your lips after you’d kissed me

My heart cracked.

Not because it was a lie,

Not because I didn’t love you,

But because, right then, I realised

That you were the first person

To say those words to me,

Who wasn’t a family member,

Or a close friend.

Because instead you are the boy

Who’s arms I can curl up in

And who I can fall asleep next to,

Who I can trust.

And then I realised, that my heart didn’t break,

It didn’t falter, or crack

Instead, a few of the little pieces,

Were being stitched back together.

So this is really just to say

Thank you

And that I love you, too.
Just my current thoughts...
