My heart wasn't pounding for love
It was nerves
The butterflies weren't excited from True Love
It was 'crap I'm meeting a complete stranger'
Two weeks long distance, Tinder of all places
I had to meet you and you me
I saw you panicking in your car
I knew I had the edge up as I didn't feel the panic
I saw vulnerability and I knew you had to be mine
Your tough girl persona melted away as I hopped into your car with you
"Hey!" I say with a big smile on my face
"Hi," your inner shy girl eyes met my own
We smiled bigger than we ever had before
We talked, we touched, and we laughed this random Saturday afternoon
"I think I'm going to kiss you now," my confidence never wavered
"Ok," you said and smiled
Your lips soft and your mouth minty (I'll never forget)
Peace, home, love, comfort, relaxation
I feel like I've met your lips before, so familiar
The butterflies were gone
The nerves faded
This is what love feels like
It's comfort and peace
Heart pounding and nerve wracking was not love for us
You calmed my soul
I've felt those lips before
In another life?
In another time?
You claimed my heart.
