creeping

My best crushes sneak up on me. It's not instantaneous, and is often times in situations where I'm not quite sure what's going on at first or how I feel. But then you start thinking of the person and maybe their eyebrow that twitches at just the right velocity or the smile that creeps at the corner of the mouth. And suddenly, that gesture means something. It shifts from an analytic view to something else--to affection. I love that change.
