You, My Silent Muse

Not a single word etched the air between us.
Yet somehow, it was loud enough;
So only the universe heard.

You never knew the chaos in me.
The way I cursed myself,
Even every corner of existence.
But your calm...
It settled storms I had long forgotten how to name.

You didn't teach me how to bloom.
You just stood there, and suddenly,
I became spring!
Because something in you,
Reached everything in me. 

And maybe...
Maybe you'll never know what you did. 
The magic with which you spun,
An ordinary day felt like a little story worth remembering. 
But I do.
