I've liked you for a long time now

though I thought it would eventually fade away

since you'd never even notice me


but then by some twist of fate,
you did

it felt so surreal the first time we talked

and even more unbelievable when you
trusted me with your deepest secrets


now that this feeling is growing
into something

I am afraid I could not contain

would you mind telling me



am I in this too deep now?
