At First Sight

Sometimes you the moments that you are the most frightened of are the moments that feel right.

"Princess, I am not a man of many words. So please excuse me if I get this wrong."

"Austin, what is wrong?"

"Please, please just listen to me, please just listen until I am done."

I shift but a fraction even closer than what could even be possible and take her soft hands into mine. My trembling hand that right now wish that I could just fall into an abyss and disappear. But I can do this; I have played this moment in my head over and over now for days.

So here it goes.

"Princess, until I saw you first, love, at first sight, was just an overrated phrase for me.

When I saw you, I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.
