She and I

Have what I like to call

Snail love

I coined the term

Just for her and I

I think

It fits the two of us

Quite well

Me

More than her

We take it slow

But when no one is watching

We speed our love up

We're both shy

It took us

Forever

To come out

Of our shells

It took us

Even longer than

Forever

To admit our feelings

For so long

I thought

They were unrequited

Apparently

She thought the same

And now

That we can love each other

We don't let anything bind us

Until people look our way

And we slow it down

Crawl back inside our shells

But once they turn away

She and I

Are a force to be reckoned with

Our love

Though it started off sluggish

Is quick paced

And nothing

Is held back
