I'm terrified because I'm so inexorably in like with you. I'm not going to say it's love because I know I'm not capable of such a complex emotion but with you, I could get there.
You scare me because I catch myself breaking into a grin whenever I see you. I can't keep a smile off my face when we talk.
You leave me with a floating feeling while the thunderous pounding in my heart feels like a deadweight.
It's weird to feel for you in this way. I never imagined that I'd ever want or need someone so badly. But I do. It's because of everything you are, every laugh and line spoken, story shared, joke told, all of the kindness you exude and the rationale and sensibility that is a rare gem in the dark mines of society.
I think you do understand the hurt of longing for someone you know you'll never get. Because you feel the same way about HER. But it's always been about her, and never me, and maybe for someone else it's always been about me, and I've never given them a second thought.
