two seconds

“I’ve known you for two seconds”.
That’s what I say when I get scared.
Because honestly this has been fast.
But to this feeling, nothing’s ever compared.

I get jumpy, anxious, and unsure,
About literally everything in my life.
But I just have to imagine your eyes,
And I know I want to be your wife.

And then when you hold my hand,
Even when I’m crying,
I know you’ll keep me happy.
So for you, I’ll always keep trying.

Taylor Swift once sang:
Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?
I finally get what she meant;
And I’d like you to forever be the one who wipes my tears.

You make me cry out of joy,
Laugh like a goddamn fool,
Challenge me to my wit’s end,
And you’re so hot it’s honestly kinda cruel.

Yes it’s literally been two seconds.
I didn’t know you six months ago.
But now you’re everything I want in life,
Fuck taking things slow.

I shouldn’t propose in a poem,
So I’ll leave it at this:
I can’t wait for the day you get down on one knee,
And sing “baby just say yes”
