She didn’t enter the room —she echoed into it.

A sentence before her name, a silence after her laugh.

I told her love scared me. She whispered, “then let’s walk slow.”

I am no longer afraid. I have memorized her in poems and kissed her between metaphors.

Her name? Still secondary to the way she says mine.
