i like falling in love slowly.
first i dip my toes in the water, testing, waiting to see if its safe. worried. waiting. and ready to pull my feet out at the first ripple of trouble. timidly pushing myself further into the water.
up to my waist and now i'm waiting to be pulled in.
waiting quietly and scared to be loved.
waiting for you to make the journey from the depth to the shallow sandy bottom where i stand, and pull me in.
i'll gently fall, holding my breath, and then finding i am able to breath.
