A Letter of Love
ok.. so .. here goes.. thats right... I am in love, only... he doesnt know it.. so .. Im going to espress it here in the hopes I can get it all out and let it go.
@#$%#, ( insert name here)
We started out as good friends. I know I should have told you this long ago.. but, you always had a girlfriend. The last few months have really been a eye opener for me as a person. My heart has a new spot that has been filled with laughter and sharing. I can open up to you and when you told me that for the first time you were able to be honest, with nothing held back, I felt so close to you.
Laughter over some beers and a few games of pool later.. I realized that the feelings I had for you went well beyond just the bonds of friendship. Can a man and a woman be just friends? I remember all the nights we talked. The walks on the beach. Sounds sort of corny doesnt it? We have the same sense of humor. I know I can tell you anything without you judging me.
I wish I had the balls to tell you how I feel about you. We are together so often and in a way, or possiably, my dreamy vision, I see those same feelings in you.
And then... all good things must come to an end... That one night changed our relationship. I know that having sex once doesnt make anyone fall in love.. certainly not me, but I can't get you out of my mind. I kept telling myself that I can have that relationship with you and never feel like there needs to be strings attached and yet .. that's exactly how I feel. I feel like I am tied to you. We talk on and off all day on the phone and all I can think about was how gentle your touch was.. how sweet your kisses were.. the way the sun shined through your eyes and at that moment.. how connected I felt to you.
Since then, I feel a little bit of a let down. In a way I wish that night never happened .. and in the same breath I am so overwhelmed with waves of giggles and happiness. I want you to know.. but I know it wouldnt be fair of me. I can't just spring my feelings on you and say .. " here.. deal with it" . Its not fair. I just wish that I could have this talk with you and tell you everything. I'm just afraid, because I know this is just the sort of thing you wouldn't know how to deal with. Since I know you will never read this.. expressing how I feel just seems to make this seems less overwhelming. At least for today. I know when I hear the phone ring tomorrow.. these thoughts and feelings will rush back. Well then, here's to a good night of sleep .. and .. another restless day.
