I dont love you yet.
God & Man
When I kiss you, I kiss deeply, but then I pull away.
I want to make each moment stretch on, beautifully, endlessly.
But Im scared to fall too fast.
I dont love you yet.
I havent quite carved a place for you in the entirety of my soul.
I dont love you yet.
God & Man
But Im still taking my time with my emotions.
Im letting your words slide over me, letting your touch carve new memories into my skin.
Im learning you piece by piece, moment by moment.
For once, Imslowingthings down.
I dont love you yet.
When you speak of us, I dont quite picture years and years down the road.
But I want to.
Our friends, our family, laughing in sync.
Our kisses, falling into familiarity.
I dont love you yet.
I havent let those three words slip from my lips.
I havent told you the fullness of my feelings for you.
Ive just let each moment together be what it iseffortless.
I havent tried to rush, to jump in, to start something without knowing whether I can finish.
Instead, Im just letting us be and become.
Instead, Ive decided to soak up the nowright here, with you.
I dont love you yet.
When I close my eyes, I imagine your face.
But Ive decided to enjoy those things rather than label them.
I dont love you yet.
But Im not quite ready to change where we are.
I dont love you yet.
See, its not that I cant.
Its not that I dont want to.
I want to fall.
I dont love you yet.
But every time I look at you, I know I could.
I could drift to sleep next to you and wake up by your side every single morning without complaint.
I could learn every piece of your past and kiss every scar.
I could rewind back through my history and tell you every memory, letting you fully in.
I dont love you yet.
And right now, thats enough.
