Have you ever gradually fallen in love

Not the explosive kind

Not that frantic torrent

But nice and slow

A rhythmic motion

One day at a time

My story started with the Rhine

On that languid summer

When I stumbled upon it!

The walks turned into years

It's little details etched into

The corners of the heart by now

After a decade still here

Falling in love a little everyday.
