So here's the plan. No more bullshit, deception, and lies. Just the truth, because after all these years, I'm so tired of the constant pretense. Games are for children and I've long outgrown them. While I may still need to figure a few things out, here's what I know to be true. I'm falling for you, I'm falling for you hard. And I realise it's meaningless to even say it, since it's quite obvious, but nothing is completely real until you write it down. I'm not sure, but I think you might like me too. I dare not claim if that's the case, yet somehow we found ourselves embraced in each other's arms, stopping time and forgetting the world exists at all. I don't want to change you or make you into something you're not, but I need you to accept that I'm young and fragile and compared to you, sorely lacking in experience. If anything, all I ask is that you take my circumstances into consideration, if you decide to move things forward of course. So now here I stand, unlike ever before, because this time, I'm not afraid, not one bit. I'm exposed to the elements and rain, ready to get soaked to my bones. With my heart on my sleeve, I exhale as if it was my first breath.
