I tried to tell you how I feel yesterday, and I faltered, and the words got caught up in my throat, and I failed. Â Kinda.
But what didnât fail was the most beautiful sex I have ever had with you. Â The most beautiful sex I have ever had in my life.
What didnât fail is you treating me like Iâm gold, unwrapping me like some sort of delectable candy bar youâve been craving all day. Â You look at me like Iâm the most enchanting thing youâve ever seen. Â Nothing goes unexamined, and I feel like Iâm an artifact in a museum under your gaze. Â You are fucking glorious.
And then I tried to tell you that, I tried to tell you how I feel, and I faltered, and the words got caught up in my throat, and I think I failed. Â But did I?
All that stumbled out of my tongue was a meek question of âwhat is this?â
All that mumbled out of your mouth was an âhonestly, I have no ideaâ
And I was paralyzed. Â My heart sank and I felt the pangs of past rejection starting to settle into the pit of my stomach. Â The longer the silence, the more that pit grew, expanding with every inhale. Â
Iâve always said the next person I trust with my heart has to surprise me, and you surprised me yet again. Â You kissed my neck so hard, and all I could whisper was a âthank youâ
And you cradle both of my hands in your own, you pull my head on top of your chest, right over your heart, my eyes greedily flick all over your face and you watch them. Â And you say theyâre beautiful. Â And Iâm starting to think that maybe I didnât fail after all. Â Maybe weâre both equally as confused and scared by the surprise in all of this. Â How did we end up here, starting out as neighbors in our dorm a little over a year ago, neighbors who kept forgetting each others names?
I have a habit of questioning things to the point of exhaustion, but today I donât feel like i have to question you.
