A moment she wished to keep

There was something about him that day; not dramatic, not loud, just a quiet charm that made her heart slow down for a moment. He walked in like he didn’t know how effortlessly beautiful he looked, and maybe that’s what made it worse; the way he was perfect without even trying. She caught herself watching him, noticing the little things; the way he smiled at someone, the softness in his eyes, the calmness in how he carried himself. Every detail felt too gentle to ignore, like her heart chose him before she gave it permission. And then he looked her way. Just a second,maybe even less but the world felt sweeter than it was a moment before. A glance so small, yet somehow full of something that left her breathless inside. She wished she could hold that moment, hide it somewhere safe so she could revisit the way he looked; soft, handsome, almost angelic in the warm light. It felt like the kind of beauty you only notice once, but remember forever. He walked away without knowing any of this without realising how deeply a single moment of his shaped her entire day. And she stood there, quietly falling for someone who made the world feel warmer just by existing.
