"And then it hit me

The avoidable thoughts that thrashed through my mind were unbearable

The idea of a life with the absence of you in it

And the idea of a mind like yours not sharing it's complex and vivid thoughts day by day with mine cause me sorrow and confusion

You are my ray of light

You are my rock

and ultimately, you are the reason my heart jumps out of its chest

my irises grow when I set sights on your face

my smile is shown day by day and my laughter is brought on by you

I cannot complete a thought without the idea of you passing through my mind

And then it hit me,

I'm in love with you"
