You never know what it feels like to fall until you do. You hear their stores about others looking up and feeling like the world stopped time just so they could look at their love a little longer. You hear about the perfect love stories and the untreatable bonds that they have.
Falling is never something you can expect, they say. It just happens.
They lied.
I know the entire time I was falling for you. From the long nights on the phone laughing over absolutely nothing. To the drives late at night with donut and coffee.
I knew.
I knew when you touched my hand for the first time. I knew when you told me you loved me in a whisper when you thought I wasn’t listening. I knew when you drove to my house in the pouring rain because thunder scared the shit out of me and I couldn’t move.
There wasn’t a moment after the first time we met that I didn’t know I loved you. That I didn’t know you were meant to be everything to me.
No one ever tells you what it feels like to fall for someone, they just tell you that its unexpected.
But it wasn’t.
I expected every single moment of it.
