a confession...


I like you and not in a friendly way although i think we're great friends..
and not in a misplaced affection puppy--dog way, although i'm sure that's what you call it.

And it's not because you're unattainable... I love you - very simple, very trully.
You're the greatest example and epitome of every ideal and quality i've looked for in another person.

I know you think of me as just a friend and that crossing that line is the farthest thing from an option
you would ever consider.. but i had to say it, i can't take it anymore.

I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you.
I can't look into your eyes without feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels.
I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love , for everything you are.

And i know this will probably queer our friendship, no pun intended- but i really had to say it.
And if by telling you all this, means we cant hang out anymore, then that hurts me.
But i couldn't allow another day to go by without getting it out there. Regardless of the outcome which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shootdown, and i'll accept that.

But i know some part of you is hesitating for a moment. And if there is a moment of hesitations - that means that you feel something too. All i ask is that , you would not dismiss that, at least for a minute and just try to dwell in it.
There isn't another soul in this planet who's even made me half the person when i'm with you. And i would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next level. Because it's there between you and me, you can't deny that. And even if we never speak again to each other after today... please know that i'm forever changed because of who you are and what you meant to me, which i do appreciate.

And remember what they say... if you love someone - you say it!!! Right then and there, out loud!!!!

Otherwise, the moment will just pass you by.. .. = (

  1. my reactions are all delayed and yet i am composing myself that have been all over the place from a weekend blast! first, thank you so much pare for your effort, time, concern, care and mostly love. i can rely on your wisdom, that i know much. i can rely on your support because in many similar ways, our outlook on love and style on how to do it were coming from a ground we have plummed through the years. i really honor you for this and for every effort i know you have done effortlessly. but...in all God's time dear. God is working on it and is assuring me that real love waits. -steph-
