Sometimes I wonder how often I have walked by you, a stranger like no other, a not-made friend to laugh with me at 3 AM, a comforting presence as I cry in your arms, a lover to share every smile and frown.
I want to know you, I want to love you. I want to skip the awkward introduction and skip to the part we were in our PJs at 3 AM, watching sad movies and crying our eyes out in the loveseat. I want to skip to the part where I could tell you how much you mean to me, where I can show up at your door after a hard day and comfort you. I want to reread an epilogue not yet made in our story, where we loved and we lost and we found each other. I’ve seen your face in a crowd 1000 times, and I feel like it will be 1000 times more before I can muster up the courage to say hi. Because right now I’m not even on page 1 in our story, yeah I crave an end that hasn’t even begun.
So I confess my love to you, dear stranger. I confess that I can see myself getting lost in stories you adore, that I could find love in the way you have your eyes stuck to your phone, mind spent on characters you adore. I would fall into love with the way you smile and snicker at scenarios in your mind that you’ve conjured.
I confess that you are lovely, a concept on paper that intrigues me. How lovely your skin, how soft your hair. How romantic the poetry we would make.
I confess that we are different in reality, that dull skin and bitter smiles and scars are just as worthy of love as the stories that writers imagine are.
I confess to you dear stranger, that you are everything I could see you to be.
I confess that you are worthy of the love i am ready to give you.
