"Be who you are and say what you feel
Because those who mind, don't matter,
And those who matter, don't mind."

"X" I Let You Down, I'm Sorry..

Have you ever read a book
Where the end is something you didn't expect?
Or maybe you've watched a movie
Where the ending had a surprise twist,

Let me tell you something:
This is that exact moment.

My heavy heart was too much to carry
I swear that it couldn't breathe
I felt no power within my bones
I swear it was making me weak.

The spring in my step had ceased
And the vibrancy of color faded
With every moment that had passed
My smile slowly dissipated.

I surrendered myself to life
After fighting a battle I'd never win
I gave into what seemed like the inevitable
Until the light shined in.

You wouldn't believe how I met her
Because I hardly believe it myself
But the moment I heard her laugh
My heart tripped over itself.

From that moment on
All I wanted was to hear her speak
I adored every moment I heard her voice
What was happening to me?

All of my inner demons were trampled
With every word that she said
As I got to know every inch of her mind
She gave me something to believe in.

I told myself that it was too good to be true
Perfection simply doesn't exist
But I was wrong because it truly does
In someone I never expected.

I saw her eyes for the first time
And, I swear, my heart skipped a beat
I know it sounds cliche, I understand
But it isn't cliche for me.

Have you ever felt invincible-
Like you could do anything?
Because that's how her glance makes me feel
It's almost baffling.

This feeling isn't tangible either
Because I've yet to touch her skin
But when I'm finally lucky enough to hold her in my arms
I won't let go until we kiss.

I'll place my lips softly on her forehead first
Then each cheek, down to her chin
And when I work up enough nerve to do it
I'll gently kiss her lips.

The anticipation is killing me
I can already feel the chills shiver down my spine
As I dream about holding her close to my body
And feeling her love intertwine with mine.

I can't begin to explain how my heart works
I fell in love with her instantaneously through sound
It was her voice, her words, her laughter
She was perfect all around.

I took a leap, a risk, a chance;
I asked, "Can I keep you for always?"
She smiled and answered, softly, with, "Yes,
Because you're the only one who makes me happy."

To be honest, I'll compare this happening to a penny,
The kind you find heads up on the ground
Because our meeting was an arbitrary moment
That I can't believe I found.

I'll treat this love with passion
I'll give her everything I've got
Because she consumes every thought within my head
..she's everything I want.
