A Lovely Realization

Sunshine on your face
Wind blowing the ends of your shirt
Eyes sparkling with happiness
The warmth soaking into your skin
You catch me staring
And you smile
I reach my hand out
You take it in yours without hesitation
Your thumb strokes mine slowly up and down
The empty space between us is warm
Holding your hand is the best connection I could ask for
Locking our fingers
I realize
i love you.
