When Blue met Green

When my blue eyes met your green,
it wasn't soft.
It was a voltage-
a current that tore through silence
and rewrote gravity.

The world didn't pause;
it shattered,
then reassembled
around the space between our gaze.

Your eyes-
wild,verdant,alive-
held mine like a secret
I'd waited lifetimes to remember.

And in that instant,
the air grew heavy with meaning.
Breath caught.
Time bowed.

I wasn't falling in love.
I was being pulled-
as if the ocean
had found its storm,
and neither could pretend
to be calm anymore.

You looked at me,
and the walls I didn't know I built crumbled.
Every locked door opened.
Every "never" became now.

No words.
Just the violent stillness
of everything changing
because your green
saw my blue-
and chose it.
