AN: Hello everyone, this is my first fanfiction post which happens to be a poem : D

Just thought I would share my collection of royai poems. Rather than tell stories, I wanted to capture the changing sentiments and situations of the two. Hope you enjoy them. Comments and criticisms are very much appreciated.

1. It Grows

It's in these simple moments
When love deepens
The growth achingly slow
We never seem to see anything
Out of place

Quietly our eyes watch each other
Never quite like mirrors
Never something so obvious
We might be afraid of hidden thoughts
Afraid that these thoughts might
Be real after all

An uncertain future
Warns us to steel ourselves
They say emotion is a human weakness
And perhaps this is for the best
We're protecting ourselves
For each other
"How can I watch your back if I'm in your arms?"
The question is never asked
But right now, let's not find out

Technically we've always
Been talking in codes
Sending signals only you and me
Can understand

And so it grows
Yet each time we almost fail to acknowledge it
We never seem to see anything out of place
There's always a hidden meaning
For now, we dare not imagine
What happens when we do

And so, it grows
It grows quietly
Waiting for the sword piercing moment
To be the grand catalyst
That speeds up this chemical reaction

But until that day...
It grows
