I smiled today.

First time in a while.

You made me think.

Wonder.

Feel.

More than any other.

And I'm worried.

Not of you.

But of me.

Will I push

Too strong,

Too fast.

But why worry when you are so content?

Just talking.

Laughing.

That's all I want from you.

And you're giving them.

All the funny jokes.

Stupid puns

And heart

To

Hearts.

Where have you been?

Well...

The better question is...

Where will you go?

And I'm really not sure.

It's too far in the future to guess.

But I hope.

Dear God I hope.

We could

Fall.
In.
Love.

I kinda like the format of how I did this but it's a lot happier than many of my pieces before so I hope people see the other side of me.

I like this one a lot :)

The ending surpised me; it was kind of suspenseful before that because the reader doesn't really know who it is you're admiring.  Which is good because it makes you keep on reading.

Also, the format and flow is really fun and unique.
