On dating and happiness

I think I'm finally truly happy in a relationship I'm not even part of yet

I'm not sure how to explain it really

I love you, but I've never had the chance to express that properly to you

It's frustrating really, that it feels like something new is clicking,and I like it

It's overwhelming sometimes, the possibilities.

I only see good ones, even among the more frustrating ones.

There are always bad outcomes, but oddly enough, I'm okay with those too

I think I'm content with no matter what happens, because I just enjoy being around you

I can tell you care in your smile, the way you memorize the little details

It's a special kind of longing I don't quite understand

You called me your soul mate, but I think just hearing that makes my brain fuzzy

To know I could ever make anyone so happy, is not something I could have dreamed of

But yet, we haven't even dated yet, we haven't even sat in the same room

But I feel closer to you than anyone else before

I don't know what it is, but I think this is what a certain kind of happiness feels like

Despite all the odds against us, I'd gladly let them stack the deck against us

If it meant we would take on the world together

I don't know how I can miss someone I've never met

But I like it, even if there are aches sometimes

There is just a certain kind of joy I get from you, I've never felt before

We talk, we laugh, we just enjoy sitting in silence

Theres such a deep love I feel for you already, and I can do nothing but watch it grow in the garden of our design

I like it, even if I don't fully understand

But I love you
