incremental love

love at first sight? NOT!

I didn't love
you,
not sure
I even liked
you,
that
day.

But,
I kissed
you
anyway.

Somehow
it grows,
softly,
quietly,
waiting
incrementally
sneaking,

pokes
its head
from beneath
the sheets,

whispers
softly;
every once
in a
while,
one of us
hears.

Lovely poem, real, and sweet. I like how the form fits the subject.

sometimes another person just grows on us...and often it can happen as we see more within them than without....

Sounds like a rusty marriage or someone's being naughty...ha, good one, those increments are sometimes the best we can hope for.
