Automatic

Today's random word is: Automatic 

---

Before I met you, 
Connections felt like disconnect
From myself, 
From who I wanted to be,  
From what I already was. 


I was nervous to meet you. 
Scared it would be like e
Every past experience, 
Every past heartache, 
Every other time I lost myself. 


But then I saw you. 
It was automatic
Everything felt connected. 
Genuine. 
Authentic. 


I didn’t have to be someone I wasn’t. 
I didn’t have to to want things I didn’t. 
I didn’t have to mask my quirks and imperfections. 
Because you already accepted them.


I didn’t love you at first sight
But I knew at first sight
That I would love you.
It was automatic. 


Just like I touch your shoulder
As I walk by you in the kitchen now. 
Automatic.


Just like kissing you
Before I leave in the mornings now. 
Automatic.
​

Just like reaching for your hand
When we walk down the sidewalk now. 
Automatic.
