When you walked beside me

When you walked beside me,
the world grew quiet-
trees leaned in,
the wind forgot its way
and followed your hair.

No words were needed.
The sky softened,
as if it knew
we were already enough.

I didn't look ahead.
Only your shadow,
moving with mine,
mattered.

In that stillness,
I remembered
what it meant to feel.
