“I’m here”, “he whispers”. “You can talk to me or not talk to me, but I’m here”. I looked at him as a friend until I realised I loved him. I look at you and I just love you and It terrifies me. It terrifies me what I would do for you. He looked at me like there was something in me worth looking at. I saw home in his eyes and I found love in his smile. I felt scared. Should I give in to this intense feeling? My mind is fighting this, but my heart and my body speak otherwise. Would he hurt me? Should I give in?

He sees through my fears and doubts, he looks through my weary eyes and speaks softly, “My darling, you will never be unloved by me, you are too well tangled in my soul”. He touched me and it felt as if the stars were dancing across my skin. “If we fall, we fall together”, “he whispered to my ears”.

I looked into his eyes. Something about him made me feel a little more alive and less lost. His eyes and the way he smiles just calm every part of me. “I’m not good at telling people how I feel”, “I said shyly”. “But this is what I have to say. I laugh harder with you, I feel more myself with you. I trust you with me, the real me. When things go wrong and bizarre, you are the first person I want to talk to, I-I-I…shhhhhh”, “he hushed me”.

“I want the side of you that you don’t show anyone else. I know you are scared but I’m ready to wait and help you be bold. I love you with every part of me. I don’t think you understand how beautiful you make my world just by existing in it. I hate the idea of anyone else having you. Even if we make eye contact for a split second, it means the world to me”.

It is the connection we both can’t explain. So let’s just ride with it. Walk down the aisle with me my love, hold my hand and let me hold yours. At this point, I knew for sure, that this is true love…..
