Broken into fragments, 

I think that's how feelings sometimes arrive.

In pieces.

A thought here.

A smile there.

A name that somehow stays in your head longer than it should.

Heartbeats are counted- Limited.

And somehow, I'd still give every beat i have left just to hear my name escape your lips again.

I like you.

Like, really like you.

Not in the fictional perfectly written kind of way😂.

Not the kind of love i've only read about in books or watched unfold on a screen.

I mean the kind that makes me want your presence around me even when nothing is happening.

I want the conversation. The silence. The random moments. The ordinary days.

I want you close- not because i need someone to complete me, but because somehow, having you around makes everything feel a little calmer. A little softer. A little more right. 

And maybe, that's the strange beauty of us.

A togetherness that still leaves room for solitude.

Two people who can exist independently yet somehow feel better when the other is near.

I've read so much about love, attachment, timing, beliefs and  everything inbetween.

None of it prepared me for you.

because somehow and sometimes, feelings don't follow logic.

Sometimes you simply meet someone and suddenly all the things you've read about start making sense.

You feel like home.

And no, don't get scared 🤫😂

I'm already used to rejection 😁

But unfortunately for you....

I'm not giving up that easily😚.

Maybe i'll get rejected.

Maybe I'll get surprised.

Maybe nothing will come of this.

But for now,  I'll happily admit it:

I like you. And i'd rather be honest about it than spend forever wondering what could have happened if I'd just said it.

So...your turn

Have you ever liked someone so much that keeping it to yourself became harder than confessing?
