I've been trying to articulate how to tell you how I feel about you in a way that is both unique and makes sense. It seems I get lost in the words as soon as I open my mouth and I close it before uttering 'I love you'. When I look at you it makes my eyes damp and my mouth dry and my heart burn with the fire of one thousand magnificent suns. I become obsessed with the curve of your spine and the way you smile and I silently beg you to stay a while. Every time I look in to your eyes I feel like I'm drowning in the most beautiful way possible. I feel hopeless without you, as if I'm a broken mess once again the second you're gone. You make me whole. It's as if I'm under some kind of spell, in love with your eyes, your skin, your smell. I'm in love with the way you draw circles on my ribs with your fingertips as if you could somehow reach my heart that way. I'm in love with the way you are more interested in opening my heart than anything else. You are like the trees in that you keep me breathing even when I don't want to. I love the way you look on a sunday morning, with your sleep filled eyes and messy hair. It seems that even after all of this, I still don't know how to tell you 'I love you' in a way that is meant just for you. I'm so terrified of rejection. I'm so terrified that you won't love me the way I love you. I know I'm not simple or easy to unravel but I promise I'd love you more than anyone else ever could. I'd love you irrevocably. I'd love you more than anyone smart would choose to love someone. I think I already do. I guess I can't figure out a way to tell you how I feel in a way that makes sense. I guess I'll just have to say 'I love you' and hope it's enough. I love you.
