Hypothetically Speaking (Not a rhyming poem)

Hypothetically Speaking

Hypothetically speaking, I'm holding you close enough to hear your heartbeat. In those few seconds I get caught up in the moment and rediscover what my mind has been continuously trying to forget. An unexpected thrust of lust covers my body making it hard to refrain from what I know shouldn't be happening. Just as I begin to let go my heart rushes into an upbeat battle begging my brain to fight off temptation. There comes a point in time when everybody lets their thoughts get the best of them I reached that point. With nothing left but my dignity, I announce to you each overwhelming feeling I've kept inside for months. I can see the doubt in your eyes. Nobody would want to travel down this path again. If the theory of things having to get worst before they can get better is true, we're on the right track. I'm convinced that there's a place of contentment in the mist of all our friction. Perfection is the only option. So I'm searching for the perfect words to say when everything is seemingly coming out wrong. Failure is not in my vocabulary. Tears slowly prick at the side of my eyes. I try to contain every ounce of strength remaining in my soul and not reveal my one honest feeling. We've both traveled down this road before and it was a disaster. In order to keep the situation uncomplicated, I can't let the truth show... But it's all I have left; the only thing I'm grasping onto. So the wall I've built around courage is abruptly knocked down. I can no longer trick myself into thinking that standing inches away from me, within arms length, she's no my passion. The whole essence of beauty is captured into yet one living existence and just by being in her presence I weaken. I can no longer resist... "I love you". Never has there been such a strong declaration from the innermost depths of my soul. Uncertainty overcomes my whole being and everything I feared seemed to coming to past. For a mere 2 seconds regret got the best of me, but with the expanding of my mind I regained all the confidence her touch gave me. The energy surrounding us was enough to keep the moment intense. The dreams I once envisioned for us suddenly reappeared as if they never faded away. The silence continued to grow louder. In myself, I felt complete. In reality, I couldn't force myself to be selfish enough to care about the weight I had just lifted. She stood there as if gazing into a past of discomfort. The melody of what I'd been playing in my mind began to reveal itself. Eventually I knew time would take its toll but I had no clues as to when. Then, the other half of my heart poured from her lips... Hypothetically speaking... "I love you too".
