My heart skips a beat...

So far so good. I know I don't always make it seem that way, with certain days just taking too big of a toll on me, but the bigger picture is shaping according to the plan. And trust me when I say, the plan is good, it's greater than anything I've ever come up with, I only need the conviction, and maybe a little bit of luck, to pull it off. But you know what the best thing of this journey is? Even if I fail, even if I crumble, even if I'm torn to pieces, if nothing else, it makes an amazing story. One that's yet to be lived. It's mine and mine alone. And while few take notice, if any really, at least I find it undeniably interesting. If I could ask for one thing, it would be to stop the moon, and make this night last forever, for never before have the stars so profoundly illuminated my path. Never before have I been more certain. Tonight, with the slightest of shifts, everything falls into place.

I can't wait much longer...

I know who I have to be right now,

because I can't get much wronger.

But I'll do anything when the time is right...

If something feels really really good, it can't be bad, right?

I may not be your first, your last or your only. You've cared about someone else before me, and will again. But you'll care for me at that moment, and that's all that will matter. I won't expect you to be perfect, because I know I'm flawed as well. You won't have to think of me every second of your everyday, and I don't have to be the center of your universe. I'll just hold a part of you, one you realise I can break. I won't hurt you, or try to change you, and I won't expect more than I know you can give. My only promise is that I will make you smile, when you make me happy, yell when you make me mad, miss you when we're not together, and love you like you'll never break my heart.

So when our time comes, and mark my words, it will come, it shall be the beginning of always. A promise, a belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision to ignore, simply rise above the pain of the past. A covenant, which at once binds two souls, and severs prior ties. A celebration of the chance taken and the challenge which lies ahead. That night will be merely a formality, only an announcement to the world of feelings long held, and of hearts forever intertwined.
