Hopeless Romantic

Wow. I never really thought I would feel this way about someone. I've always read about these feelings in books. Since I was a child I would read about the tight chest, the butterflies, the shortness of breath. As I got older these symptoms seemed more like a disease and my love for love was stashed aways, saved for the dimmed room after hours, hidden away from society. 

But you. Wow. You make me want to love love again. Publicly and out loud. Unlocking it from the cage I set up years ago. You make me feel comfortable with my book obsessions, my nonstop talking, and my constant changing of mind. Spending time with you, I realized that throughout my years of reading, I could identify love on paper, but love was so hard to identify in person. 

I know that I don't love you yet, but it's so hard to admit that one day, If you told me you loved me, the tight chest, the butterflies, the shortness of breathe will all make sense. 

Wow, I never thought I could feel this way.
