Do you know how at times you have this feeling in your chest? A feeling fastened deep within your bones that you can't contain, that needs to be said or else nothing else will be dealt with in a day? Yeah well, that's what was happening to me a moment ago,
It was unbelievably difficult for me to concentrate on a singular thing when the knowledge of my love for Aaron became so apparent to me, It physically wasn't possible for me to look at him and not blurt out that I love him,
Laying on his chest, feeling so relaxed and safe, I knew that he needed to understand where I stood, I've never wanted nor did I feel like I should make the first move by saying those three words in any of the relationships I was in,
But Aaron isn't like any of the careless, manipulative, assholes that I dated before, he genuinely cares for me, makes me feel safe and comfortable any time and anywhere, apologizes when he knows he hurt my feelings, and constantly shows me he's always there for me,
I believed I was falling, but I assume it was with my eyes closed because I didn't acknowledge that I was already at the bottom and Aaron had caught me,
It's impossible to not love him
Attempting to not love him is like trying to not breathe, at some point, you have to give in and take a deep breath, taking in that love that fills your lungs with the air it's desperately been needing,
I think I loved him for longer than I originally believed, I've spent nearly every day with him at countless meetings, events, and in the office, our proximity was bound to make us develop something for each other,
I think what truly intrigued me about Aaron in the beginning, was his cold demeanor, he was like this mystery waiting to be uncovered, it made me wonder what was going on inside his head, why he was the way he was, and then to get glimpses of his true self...it solidified my want for his closeness,
And when we started hanging out together outside of work... it was completely inevitable that I fell for him, he was that missing piece that my heart was waiting for,
when I was on the couch with his parents speaking about how my father proposed to my mom...it was clear to me that it's not worth it to wait months from now to have the dramatics of an I love you moment, I want him to know now, so I told him, and I don't regret it for one second.
He cups my cheeks and brings his forehead to rest on mine
"Say it again" he whispers his voice hoarse, the softness in his voice sounds almost pained
I gently smile "I love you Aaron" I whisper speaking with complete certainty
I hear him inhale sharply, his hands tremble slightly as they hold my face with gentleness
