Steady

Go slow with your love.

Reveal.
But reveal gradually.

Halt.
Take your time.
They will have to wait with you.
You both will bask in a single emotion for as long as possible.

You are not the blink of an eye.
You are a journey they will go on;
You are that road trip, that holiday,
That one day or the decade -
All in one.

You will be felt till you sear -
And burn till you are too much to bear.

Or you will end before it’s over.
