You ever feel all loved and awesome, maybe a little too much before you probably should? I'm not dating this guy yet...but (I know, I probably sound like a broken record about this, but DUDE I AM SO NERVOUS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS, especially this one cause this friendship means the most to me) I can't help but feel so confident that things are actually going to work out with him. It terrifies me because I really have never been this confident about a relationship. Yet, even though I feel terrified, I feel so... safe...
I feel like a kid who was abandoned in a forest, scraped and bruised, and now has been picked up by strong guy who never stopped searching for me. He's someone I KNOW won't put me down until we have made it safely out of the forest so he can tend to my wounds and assure I can stand on my own again. I've never felt this safe in a relationship, and whats pretty amazing is that I've always felt this safe with him in our friendship; now, I feel even safer knowing that he wants to be with me in a relationship. Even more so, he wants to be SURE for the both of us without leading me on. Yet, even with him trying not to lead me on, I can't help but hope for it all the more because of just how amazing he is. I'm just grateful, because he has renewed my hope in my ability to love, and is taring down all my insecurities with his sincere actions and consistency. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world, and honestly, I never thought I would actually say that. His kindness, humility, humor, warmth in his eyes, smile and words astound me in so many ways. I only pray to God I can give him what he deserves, and pray even more that he doesn't settle for less. I still sometimes feel he deserves more than I may be capable of giving. But, I do know he deserves all that I hope and aspire to give him, and honestly, he gives me hope in believing that maybe I am capable of more than even I feel I can achieve for not only him, but for myself.
I just pray I don't regret opening my heart so quickly... How can one person make one feel so hopeful and so quickly?
