A better way to fall in love.

Not the quick and overwhelming
tumble into another human being
with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows
that comes as fast as it goes
but instead a slow and almost unnoticed
sinking into another human being
then waking up to realize
they have taken over your heart
and that you have taken over theirs
and that both of you have plans
to hold one another for a long, long time.
