"Do you love me?"
"I'm loving you," you said.
And somehow, that didn’t make me sad or mad —
It made me smile. It made me giggle.
Maybe, just maybe, I can be happy.
You didn’t say it perfectly.
Not like in the movies, not like in dreams.
But there was truth in your voice,
a warmth that wrapped around me
like a soft, unfamiliar blanket.
I’ve known words that sounded perfect
and still left me cold.
But yours... yours stumbled,
and still, they stayed.
And in that moment,
I stopped waiting for fireworks
or grand gestures.
I started believing
that maybe love is quiet,
a chuckle in the dark,
a maybe on the edge of yes.
Maybe, for once,
I can be happy.
