A Slow Burn

Sometimes -

I remember of my soul lover.

It was not love at first sight;

Rather it was a slow burn.

Initially -

You were a stranger.

It was difficult to understand you;

Or to even make sense of you.

Realised -

You were like the vast universe.

I was only a dot;

Eager to evolve.

Then -

We spent more time together.

I understood you;

You understood me more.

And -

The eternal romance bloomed.

You became a part of me;

You became me.

Words -

We blend into one.

You make my world better;

Me better!
