A Touch Closer

Finally—
the universe
tilted in our favour

The waiting
has paid off—
this fine Sunday morning

We wrote about
the rain,
and the umbrella—
that felt like a dream

Perhaps—
the rain last night
cleansed away
the anticipation
and brought it
a touch closer to reality

Words,
voice, and
vision—
meeting in a
single frame

A little hesitation,
a few awkward pauses,
a bit of shyness, and
embarrassing moments—
all folded into something sweet

It felt like our
other worlds
faded away
into a cozy moment

It was just you
in front of me
and me
in front of you—
both under the
clear blue sky

Your subtle blush,
the looking away—
that makes you “you”
still lingers in me

A pull like
planets in orbit—
irrefutable,
drawing us
closer and closer
