Just Love

The first time we met, you hugged me. I liked how you smelled. Your long legs ended in Converse All Stars and your smile lit up your face. We got stoned and ate Jamaican food. The conversation had a natural flow, like we had known each other for years. We went to see some shitty movie and you invited me to your place after but I went home. I didn't know what to think of you but I realized that even then, I couldn't stop thinking about you.

The second time we drank wine on your couch and I knew I wanted to kiss you. Your long legs we bare this time and so were your feet. I wanted to kiss them too.

That first time together I knew this is it for me. This feels right. The whole world stopped when we touched; I lost myself in the passion of it all. When we kissed, my life changed. I knew there was no going back. I started getting excited to go forward with you.

It's scary though. You're right. We are both too strong, too independent, set in our ways, but it works I think. I think there is a balance in our levels of crazy. We bring out the best in each other. If we let go, trust our connection, trust our guts and our hearts, there is no telling how beautiful our lives could end up.

The past has left us both a little broken; the past has made us both a little too tough for our own good, full of anger, scars, and painful memories. When we are together, it's pure light, hope, symmetry of the soul, a life changing, powerful kind of love that can heal the wounds, erase the past, and give us both a new beginning. If we let it.

Your beauty overwhelms me sometimes; the depth of my feelings for you make me feel like I'm drowning in love, wallowing, bathing in all the things that make this life worth living, consumed, willingly, by the fires we have created, throwing myself, knowingly, into the flames.

I never want this feeling to end. I'm yours for as long as you want me, as long as you'll have me. We have each other, we have the future, we have endless possibility, but in the end, all we have is right now, this moment. Choosing love or choosing fear, creating, building, trying, believing, working together, and doing the best we can.

I don't know how to explain what you mean to me, how completely in love I am. I don't even know if those things matter in the long run. It's all on the table. It took two dates and I was hooked. If I can help it, I would like to never let you go. I would like to have a place by your side for as long as you will have me. I hope that answers your question, as to where this is going. It's going wherever you want. It's going wherever you will allow it to go.

I love you.

I will always love you.

That's all.

Just love.
