Little Dum Dum In My Chest

With you it wasn’t love at first sight,
No it wasn’t,
You encroached,
You intruded,
It was an invasion of privacy
You invaded the wall that I had so carefully built around myself
I didn’t know that the little dum dum I was feeling in my chest was love
I didn’t know that having a shitty day and yearning to talk to you about it was love
I woke up one morning and it washed over me like cold water on an harmattan morning
