Never in a million years

Never in a million years would I have imagined that he liked me back

But in that moment, a million years passed by in a second,

A cosmic shift, a silent crack,

In the wall I’d built, a heart protected.

The air grew thick, the world stood still,

His eyes met mine, a spark ignited,

A silent language, a whispered thrill,

A hope long buried, suddenly sighted.

The universe conspired, the stars aligned,

A symphony of feelings, soft and low,

A secret shared, a truth defined,

In the gentle blush, the afterglow.

The ground beneath me, firm no more,

A floating feeling, light and free,

A future dreamt of, now at the door,

A possibility, for him and me.

Never in a million years, I thought it true,

But in that second, fo

rever began anew.
