My mind needs to focus on the task at hand, But its drifting away to another place. That place is you. Yes you. I thought frequently about you throughout the day. Thoughts of you brought feelings of peace, rest, safety. I am not sure why. I think it is because you accept me for who I am. You forgive me for my mistakes. And you like me for me. That makes me feel safe. That makes me feel calm. So, I want you to know, for some reason you are special to me. I don’t claim you. I won’t try to control or cling to you. I won’t call you mine until you chose to be. I will simply enjoy your presents… but this will be hard for me. As you know, I love to control. I want control over my path, over my future, over the relationships I have. I don’t like the idea of being hurt, or not knowing how the path will end. I want to make you love me. But I can’t. And I won’t. True love doesn’t come out of force. It comes from a bond, a deep bond of two souls. So, my dear, let this relationship be what it will be. but know this: I care for thee.
