Sparks of Home

She never believed in love at first sight,
still doesn't to a point.
But damn if she didn't come movie screen close
on that afternoon in September 2022.
She locked eyes with him,
for just a few seconds.
And she knew.
She knew he was the one.
She also thought she was losing it.
That doesn't happen to people right?
That's only something that happens in movies
right?
Right.
And yet here she was thinking about that moment
all while avoiding him for the foreseeable future.
What was the universe trying to pull?
Love at first sight?
That didn't feel right.
Was there a spark?
Fuck yes.
Undeniably so.
But was it love at first sight?
She didn't think so.
It was more like…..
home.
It felt like coming home.
They say that home is where the heart is.
She thinks her heart made a home in his
in those few seconds.
It just took her head a couple years to catch up.
