you're close to perfect

And so, while the rest of the world went on unaware,
drinking their coffee, reading the sports page, and
picking up their dry cleaning, I leaned forward and
kissed him, making a choice that would change
everything. Maybe somewhere there was a ripple, a
bit of a jump, some small shift in the universe, barely
noticeable. I didn’t feel it then. I felt only him kissing
me back, easing me into the sunlight as I lost myself
in the taste of him and felt the world go on, just as
it always had, all around us.
