In Love

I should have known it was love, when I first met your eyes. Your smile was unexpected and it took me by surprise. I have to admit that being your friend drove me crazy. Every day I found myself longing to steal a kiss. I tried hard to ignore it but thoughts of you would persist. I finally accepted that I had fallen for you. I understood that I was yours from the very start. I didn't just want your friendship, I longed for your heart. Today, I finally proclaimed my love for you. Surprisingly, you let me hold you for a while. You ignited an inner flame when you stole a kiss and smiled. As you laid your head on my chest, I almost lost my mind. I was surprised when you whispered:

"I always wanted you to be mine."
