Just To Say

Someone once said that love was the hardest "yes" that I would ever succumb to

And for so long, I can always attest to proving them right.

Because love was everything but easy

..I never found my footing in that race

 Nor felt victorious in the battles that came with it

Until I met you.

Looking at you was easiest thing my heart could have ever  done

It was turning away that always proved  most difficult

...Because nothing within you denied all of what was deep inside of me

...It was you that opened me..

Like the dusty and untouched books on my antique coffee table

You read me so clearly

And even when fear would strike me and my mind begged me to say no..

It was my heart that answered first 

I love you beyond this moment in time that isn't so forgiving of us.

Maybe, you weren't the first to lay eyes on me, but you were the first to touch me genuinely. Never, can I forget the midnight rains..

 Ooor drunken conversations over growing pains lol..

My darling,

You. are. the. EXACT replica of every imaginary love story I've created since I was a little girl...

I guess I said all of this.. just to say... Yes. I love you.
