Why did it have to be you?

From the moment your sharp, crystalline eyes locked with mine for the first time
your gaze staring through my pupils and into my soul,
sending shivers coursing through my veins.

From the moment your lips curled and you let out a soft chuckle,
the first time I made you laugh.
A feeling blossomed within my chest,
in sync with my heartbeat rather than opposing it.

From the moment you ran your fingers through my hair
transfixed on the flow of the waves that fall limp over my shoulders.
Oh how gentle you were, your ‘tough-guy’ facade flickering like a lightbulb.

From the moment your fingertip brushed the end of my nose
and I rolled my eyes back into my head, sending you into fits of giggles.
The feeling was growing as our friendship was expanding.

From the moment I woke to see your sleepy smile coupled with a yawn.
Shuffling closer to me, you rested your forehead against mine
and that was the moment the feeling intensified.
It was no longer a residing itch, but a prominent urge.

From the moment I felt the heat from the campfire
or maybe it was just my flushing cheeks
I turned and examined your expressionless face as the light danced across your skin.
Trying to force myself into your mind, to rummage within your thoughts
As you always seem to dance inside my head.

When all of a sudden, you jerked your head towards me.
Our eyes met, and began to spar in an acute fray
to see whose gaze would snap away first.
Lost in your stare, mine stayed glued where they were.

You were the one who lost.
Your eyelids fluttered shut and that’s when my conscience began to panic.
Closer to my face you leant, I thought you were going to do the unthinkable.
But you didn’t.

From the moment you didn’t press your tender lips against mine,
From the moment you put your arm around me instead,
From the moment you turned back to the fire,
I knew it was you who was going to break my heart.
