When The Heart Speaks

Last time, I told you I was going to speak from my heart instead of creating fancy metaphors and dressing up similes in pretty clothes. Again, I feel it better to state my thoughts this way. It may not be the greatest piece of art and it may lack grandeur in literacy terms, however,

it's the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

People smile and laugh when they discuss their friends, their family, their life. I don't need to, because even when I'm sitting here alone; I smile when I think of you. I giggle at all the crazy things we've said or done together and my heart warms when I think of how much care and support you show me, always.

You challenge me in ways I never knew possible, be it intellectually, philosophically or emotionally. I need that. I need someone who can keep me on my toes, who can surprise me and who isn't afraid of rising to a challenge, who isn't afraid to stand up to me or tell me when I am wrong. I found that in you. And it may be true I tease you, I goad you, I insult you...but the truth of the matter is that I admire and respect you far more than you will ever know.

And I've been sitting here for several minutes thinking the best way to describe my feelings to you. Thinking of how to state everything I want to without taking weeks to do so. You know better than anyone how my mind works and how scared I become when I have to show emotions or tell others of how I am feeling. And yet here I am, trying my best. Only you could influence me that way. Eventually I figured direct was the best approach, so I'm not going to dress them up or talk in circles and triangles. And what my heart is telling me to say is thus:

{Quite simply, I'm falling for you. Hard.}
