every time

the imagined walls i drew in my mind to crawl over just to say those three simple words. how wonderful it felt to hear the words make its way from my heart to my brain, get the okay, and be sent to my mouth to be heard by your ears and felt by your heart.

my friends told me to be careful. nothing hurts more to say those words and to not hear them said back. the fear alone was enough to keep me silent, but I just couldn't help it with the look in your beautiful brown eyes that told me what man I was going to be tomorrow and the man I was capable of being years from now with you.

so i said it.

you smiled.
then cried.

and said it back.

it really does feel like the first time every time....
