Some things don’t begin —
they’re just there.
Like breath you forgot you were holding,
like a glance that lands too softly
to ignore.
You didn’t arrive with reason.
No build-up, no story.
Just —
present.
As if we’d already started
before we met.
As if something remembered
what I never knew I lost.
Not loud,
but lasting.
Not certain,
but sure.
You never asked to be understood,
and I never needed a reason.
Some connections don’t need names.
Still
you felt like mine
