Love is something that can happen anywhere
Anytime
Like death
You never know when it might come for you
For me
It happened gradually
But the day it hit me
It was sudden
Knowing
Glowing
“I love him”
We were in my twin-sized bed in my junior year dorm
And he was talking about a nightmare he had the night before
A boar was chasing him
And he was going on and on
And then he got off on a tangent about a guy who he used to be friends with but wasn’t anymore
And as he talked and talked and talked
It dawned on me,
“I love this man”
It wasn’t a, “I think I love him”
It was a full-blown, all-knowing love
My heart swelled and soared
“I love him”
