Mine

It’s more than a statement. It’s a feeling. It’s like your body knows.

When you get older, things change. It is not as easy as it once was to connect to people.

But then you do, and your body is telling you, yes, you need this person.

It tells you in all sorts of ways. It starts with the butterflies and the constant grin you can’t seem to wipe off your face. Then your breath catches, and the wetness grows.

The throbbing starts, yearning for something you have never had, but your body knows.

It is reaching for just the right thing to hold onto. That thing that it knows is yours.
