i want you to know that, after tonight, you're the one who makes my heart pound, my palms sweat, my ears get hot, my eyes squint up, my mouth tighten in a smile, my stomach ache with butterflies, and my soul gleam inside myself. i'm glad i found you. i'm glad i got over my pride. i'm glad i realized age doesn't matter in this instance.
i'm glad you said yes.
because, god, you are so good for me. you make me feel like a kid again, which is especially spectacular because i never was a kid. you let me maintain a sense of childlike wonderment that i never fully experienced, and you stand beside me firmly, supporting every bit of my insanity. your hold makes me feel safe, like nothing in the world could ever go wrong. and that, in and of itself, is the most incredible feeling. perhaps this seems a bit premature, but i have these thoughts. and i'm going to share them.
i know you're no good with women, but i'm pretty sure i'll be as patient as you need me to be in regards to you gaining the confidence you need, and i'll stand along side you every step of the way. i'm sorry this is so intimidating to you, but, as i've told you, know in your heart of hearts that i think you're incredible.
being with you makes it seem like i've finally done something right. thanks.
and yes, let's please go outdoor ice skating.
