I love you with all of my heart, I know I've hurt you, the one thing I never wanted to do. You left, and as much as that hurt, I understood. The days pass, I try to check on you, try to explain, try to apologize; you listen, but not much is said. I've made my apologies, some might say a few too many.
The weeks pass, you tell me you forgive me, but your feelings have changed, and we can be friends. I'm glad that you forgive me, but my heart hurts to hear I've lost your love. I've made my choice, I may have lost the love I once cherished but I haven't lost you. I will cherish our friendship and do whatever I can to help you and make you happy, because I love you and you deserve happiness.
More weeks go by, we talk more and more, it seems like old time. The old jokes return, the playful banter, it feels great and I remember why I fell madly in love with you. I'm hesitant, I don't want to push, I don't want to ruin what we have now, I never want to lose you completely. But I so want you to be mine again, to hold you, to kiss you, to just stare into your beautiful blue eyes.
We're talking everyday again, it feels wonderful. I get bold every now and then, slipping it into conversation that I still love you, you never seem to mind. Then one day it happens, you suggest we met for dinner, of course I quickly agree.
I drive to your house and walk to the door, I'm a bundle of nerves. You open the door and are as gorgeous as ever. You smile at me and my heart leaps to see that beautiful smile again. I lead you to the car, open your door and help you in. We begin to drive to our favorite restaurant, both of us quiet, both of us nervous. Then a song comes on the radio, we look at each other, laugh, and both break out into song.
Dinner is filled with talking, laughter and reminiscing, I haven't been this happy in a long time. We keep talking long after dinner is through, it feels like we are the only ones there, soon we look around and realize that we truly are. We make our exit so that they can close. We hold hands as we make our way back to my car. We drive back to your house still laughing and singing.
I walk you up to your door with my arm around you. We get to the door and we hug, you kiss my cheek. You can see me blush as your lips leave my cheek. My arms around your waist, I look down into your beautiful blue eyes.
I manage to say "I love you."
A smile spreads across your face and you say to me "I love you more."
My heart skips a beat, you push on to your toes and we kiss. It's the most marvelous kiss ever.
