Her Heart Was A Secret Garden And The Walls Were Very High

I think I saw his eyes looking into mine and felt the difference in the world the second he became part of my life.

I felt the need to run...

It might have been fear.
It might have been love.

Is this what love feels like?

Is this what realization looks like?

Every bone in my body wanted to run, but something within me had me planted in place. Something within refused to let me move...

Something inside me screamed his name.

I had to maintain eye contact. I felt my knees lock just to keep from falling over. I couldn't lose sight of him.

His tone was so deep, and his smile drilled through every lock I had keeping ancient, translucent walls up.

He knew it.

He broke every chain and lock inside me, even the ones I didn't know existed.

With every step he took towards me, he saw ever wall crumble, instantly.

His steps were heavy, and I knew he was struggling with the internal gravity that held me in place, but it only encouraged him.

He didn't run. He came closer.

The burning fear that laced my soul was stripped away with every step he took until I understood he wasn't someone I needed to push away.

The closer he came, the stronger the pull was. It was as if an electric current coursed through my veins.

Maybe this is what it feels like when you meet someone so extraordinary it shakes you to the core.

Maybe this is what it feels like to meet your soulmate.
