The world stopped spinning
for one impossible moment gravity forgot its purpose
and I forgot how to breathe.

In that silent collision of glances across the room
I saw my future written
in the language of your smile.

Time folded in on itself
past and present merging as if every step I'd taken
had been leading here.

To this exact heartbeat this perfect recognition
this sudden understanding
that home was never a place.

It was always the way you look at me
like I'm both mystery and answer.
