I’m afraid to close my eyes for then I may fall asleep, only to wake up and realize you aren't real; you never really did exist. Sometimes I hardly listen to a word you say, not because I don't care what you have to say(believe me I soak in every word you utter from those perfect lips of yours), but because I am too busy staring into those eyes of yours; I love how innocent and full of life they are. I like to lay my head on your chest just so I can listen to the rhythmic beating of your heart (a heart that beats for me). Sometimes I act like I am asleep because then I know you will snuggle closer and kiss me on the cheek. I use to be afraid of commitment, afraid of making myself vulnerable, but with you all of that changed. I’m not even sure I remember when or how it all changed, but you’ve made me fall for you (harder than I ever imagined). I love the way you draw hearts on my forearm and say, “I love you” whenever you feel like. You hold my hand in public and show me off like I am something special (I wish I was). Every once in a while I’ll forget how delicate you are and squeeze you too tight (I’m just afraid to ever let you go). But you’ll still smile anyways because you know I care that much. I treasure every moment I’m with you and spurn every second I’m not. One of these days I’ll find a way we can always be together. I’ll find a way to make time stand still. Your name is permanently engraved on my heart and a picture of you etched in my mind. I hope you know that I don’t just love you. I adore you.
