Realization

When it began
we were just friends.
That was it,
no questions asked.
I've known you for so long
it just made sense.
But now,
I'm not so sure.
All of a sudden my heart's racing,
and I'm imagining us together.
Holding hands,
hugging,
kissing.
Your bold, blue eyes
and your golden blonde hair.
Your face of perfection
which is suddenly so beautiful.
Your ringing laugh
as I say something silly.
Your bubbly personality
and your constant smile.
You're joking ways
and your one worded texts.
You're tall, thin body
and your big soft hands.
All of these things
I never noticed before
are suddenly the gravity
holding me down.
What happened
and how
can I make it happen to you too?
