It started out as friends,
But somewhere down the road I took a left and before I knew it,
I was lost when I looked into your eyes.

I got lost deeper and deeper
With every complement you said,
And every encouraging word you told me.
I was scared to tell you the truth,
But now I realize I must.

I had my words clinched in a fist for so long,
But now I realize I must let them go and be free.
If I tell you this you must promise,
To be ready to catch me,
Because I have fallen for you.

If you aren't willing to catch me,
Please warn me.
I don't need more pain,
Than what I've already gone through.

Dear every crush (past, present, and future),
This is for you. Please be okay with catching me before allowing me to fall for you.

Your words come across as soft and sweet. Words that MUST cross the heart of your crush, past, present, and future :)

This sounds like it came straight out of a beautiful movie, and thats not a lie. :)

...one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love....I love...I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. -Mr. Darcy

:/
I'm sorry.
Someone will. Just keep your head high and beautiful words coming from your head; optimism is the key.
Man, I sound like a wannabe motivational speaker. Rich, coming from me. ;)
Sorry this is so long and such.

Beautiful. I love it.
I hope he caught you. :)
My guy didn't catch me, but I did get a warning. We're still good friends, if you're wondering. ;)
