I fell for the sound of your voice in the quiet,
the way it could settle a room and then light it.
I fell for the smile that arrived without warning,
the one that could soften the edge of the morning.

I fell for the charm in the things left unsaid,
the lift in your laugh and the tilt of your head.
It was never one moment, just all of them stacked,
until falling for you felt as simple as fact.
