Slow

Slow, like the way you move in early mornings

When you rise with the sun,

Performing every step of your unchanging routine. 

Masterfully, intentionally,

Slow.

Slow, like the way you ponder your thoughts

In answering my curious questions,

Collecting the scattered ideas to make a sensical reply.

Analytically, carefully,

Slow.

Slow, like the way that you kiss my forehead

When my head is resting on your chest,

Pressing your lips as you pull me in closer.

Softly, gently,

Slow.

Slow, is the way we fell in love

Impossible to pinpoint when

Looking back, we didn’t fall, we walked in

Thoughtfully, patiently,

Slow.
