your love is different

“I thought I’d fall in love like
running full-speed off the end
of the dock; jumping in the
sudden shocking-cool and
overwhelming waves of feeling.
With you I started walking and
without noticing I waded in
till I was head-deep. I’m
covered from the toes up. I
thought it was important to
feel the fall, but slow and steady
brought me here just the same.”
