The first time we became familiar with each other, we were two people, two different worlds and two different lives. Two people who were inevitably thrilled with different things. Two people who's idea of life were two different entities. Then we became close and you started showing me what your life was, who was involved in it, and what it meant. That changed everything, and that's when I grew feelings. You taught me restraint. You allowed me to control myself when I was longing for you. It was worth it, looking back, even though at that time it was like putting salt in my wounds. I imagined being with you, and being everything to you. I've always been the type of girl to always keep both feet on the ground. I've always been a closed book, because I'm a scared girl. I know I'm a handful, I know I'm a mess, and you know I have been absolutely terrified to completely open up to you, but entirely every part of me wants to tell you otherwise. You have done so many things to show me that you will handle my heart with astounding care, and you have given me the courage to ignore the waves of fear that crash into me when I start to doubt whether or not I think I can handle it. Through all of the chaos and all of the problems that my life consist of, you always seem to bring the calm, you bring so much joy and happiness to me, and I can only hope I bring you the same. I allow myself to sit there and reveal everything to you, and sometimes I don't know why. You make me stronger, because you show me that I am worth so much. I need you know that you are adored in so many significant ways, and that you bring my sun out, even on the darkest days. Your words have the ability to soothe me, despite the fact that sometimes they sting. I need you know that I treasure you, and my respect for you is getting larger everyday. I don't see myself ever growing tired of you, and I can't imagine how I would feel if you grew tired of me, because you're starting to mean so much more to me than anyone ever could.
