Well, shit

sorry, I swear when I'm nervous

By AJPublished 3 months ago 2 min read

I don’t know where to start. Maybe I wanna be yours will break the ice.

I know you like honesty. I really don't believe in bullshitting. So I'm just going to get right to the point. Now that we've cleared up how you feel about me, (you like like me). I'm going to one up you; because I love you so.

Expression doesn’t come easy to me, except when there’s music involved. I’ve been trying to put my finger on it but, I can't explain you in any other way than; when you know, you know. Whenever we have something in common, little signs from the universe as you call them, it makes me wonder where you've always been.

I don't want to get ahead of myself but I promise you this if you’re dreaming of a porch swing and some lights I am too --- I don't even care if we can't make rent and we drink the cheapest wine. I truly just want to be stuck in the middle with you.

I swore to myself the next time, it's only worth it if it's pure devotion.

I hate to say, but I can't escape from how you're making me feel. Because usually this is the part where my craving to be known is trumped by my innate insatiable need to prove that I can do everything by myself. I always find a way to make sure I never get really hurt.

But, you laugh in 16 different ways. There’s this quiet way in how you look at me that I can’t explain with words (a disappointment of my own efforts) but I want to melt into any space that you say can be mine, so come on mess me up.

I can't promise I'm bulletproof. I can promise that ill jump if you jump. And if it doesn't work, what might’ve been lost (doesn’t bother me),In all honesty, it will bother me i Just say you'll remember me... even after the glitter fades.

All that being said, if you think you're getting away, I'll prove you wrong. I swear its with only the best intentions, all I want to do is shake your lonely heart and never make you cry, unless I say something really funny.

I can't explain it any other way, you make me realize loving is easy. There's no denying this has been fast, and I'm sure I'm freaking out the neighbourhood with how crazy I've been going since our first date. But maybe even when you were driving me home, melted milkshakes forgotten I've known it, you've got all my love.

So without wasting anymore of your time, (I'm sorry I can't patiently wait for the day) I hope you don't mind, I just need you to know, I wanna be your girlfriend and I had to ask you tonight, tonight before I loose my nerve.

Because locking myself in a dimly lit house on the seaside and feverishly pouring my soul out on a typewriter is not available to me right now
