The ‘be’ in my longing…

Sometimes a person walks into a room and your heart beats different.

It skips faster, your blood rushes, your pulse races, your breath speeds,

and your heart starts to hammer with a kind of manic banging,

like it’s going to burst out of its cage any moment now.

Attraction does that to you.

(So do humiliation, anxiety and fear!)

But when YOU walk into a room, my heart does quite the opposite.

Like a magnetic pull, it feels that ever so gentle tug,

My eyes instinctively find yours through a crowd,

like a drop of water silently finds another

to flow together with.

My heart starts to beat a little bit slower…softer…more settled.

Like  someone hushed it, and put a blanket of calm over it,

to snuggle into and rest for a while.

Because it knows you’re finally here.

There’s now someone firmly in my corner,

I no longer have to manoeuver this journey,

all by myself.

No longer need to be guarded at all times,

My heart knows you’ve got its back, and more importantly,

are walking with me, alongside.

In my mind I hear a subtle but satisfying click,

As though everything just fell into place.

And I’ve found my way back home!

This reassured  tranquility,,

This comfort and companionship, my friend…

is LOVE.

To all those…who are all this!❤️ #love, #family, #friend, #companion, #tribe #Valentinesday, #valentine
