It's hard to remember

Exactly when

You became

The fulcrum of my life.

When your happiness

Began to matter

More than anything else

In the world.

When a crease

On your forehead

Became sufficient to cast
The rest of the world in gloom.

When a smile
On your face
Started to take
My breath away.

It’s hard to remember
Exactly when
I fell for you.
And yet
Each day I realise
I’m falling more in love
With you.
