Stuck

I'm stuck

when your eyes met mine

and how instead of looking away

they stayed

I started to eventually

see myself in you

waves of warmth swept gently

onto my shore

taking sands with them back

deep into the ocean

only to wash out more of it

for me to build a bigger castle

there is a reason why time exists

he said, it is for us to slow down

to enjoy every bit of the baby steps

every sip of carefulness in our laughters

every sigh in every absence of

each other's presence

so we can cherish the moment

it tricks us into thinking it stops

the whole world tick as usual

moving in its own rhythmic routine

I started to eventually

see myself in you

when your eyes met mine

and how instead of looking away

they stayed

I'm stuck
