With each brick I slowly added a wall; a difficult barrier to break down. But yours is a love that is patient and kind. You are forgiving. And see beyond flaws; see something beautiful in me that I can't understand. I've let myself embrace you, in a way that is so rare for someone like me. Let my guard down, been so open and present; I thought it wasn't really possible to find in a partner that kind of connection.
But then I built up the walls and nearly broke us. And am hopeful that together we can bring it back - the childish fervor of freedom. That lack of concern for anything else in the world. That ever-present sense of being. Life does happen and can get in the way; but I don't want life to be all about the 'stuff', the 'responsibilities' and material, external world. I want it to be about the secret conversations when we're alone, the dreams we share and bask in, the songs we sing together, the little details of ourselves that we share in common; you're tender kisses and warm hugs - so inviting, so nonjudgmental. The way you look at me.
My promise to you will always be to make an effort; to do my best in recognizing my issues and working on them. To not shut you out, and to give in return the most wonderful gift that you have given; friendship and true love. You are my best friend, a dear friend; that once in a lifetime chance at something real. I won't screw it up.
