What are you waiting for?
When I say I love you, it means I love myself enough to let that feeling become a reality once again in my life.
It's not to be measured against those words from anyone else, for they are not the same. Caring about someone so much that it enhances ones care for themselves is something not too often felt.
If you have ever been around a person who makes you feel like a better person just by being in their company, you know what I'm talking about. When someone can brighten your day by doing something so little as saying hello to you with a smile that comes from a deeper place than the muscle reaction to raise their lips over their teeth.
Caring about someone enough to not care about them for ANY of your own selfish reasons. Not basing your advice to someone by factoring in what you want. Being there for someone even if they aren't there for you in return and still answering the phone once you realize it. Being man enough to admit to them when you're wrong, when you're jealous or afraid.
Dealing with someone's inner demons as if they were your own. Sitting with them as they sleep and not thinking about doing anything else as to not wake them up. Looking at the best in someone despite the dark outer appearance. Looking past the bullshit stereotypes passed forth from others onto this person as well as the ones you passed onto them yourself.
Taking the fear out of the equation not asking "WHAT IF" and just do. Not waiting for the common conversation to take over where all you can do is wait till it's your turn to talk, about yourself none the less. LOVING SOMEONE WITH RECKLESS ABANDON. Caring from somewhere you forgot you had because you sealed walls so tight that not even in your own mind were you aware existed anymore. Hearing the words take me to the beach and parting with anything you thought you held dear to get there. Seeing a smile through the cracks of falsehood most people front. A real smile one that starts with the lips and ends with your heart smiling back at them.
Some day. We should all feel like this, maybe not forever, maybe not toward someone of the opposite sex. Maybe a child maybe a friend. Regardless we should ALL feel this way at least once in our adult lives so that we can take those times, those feelings of inner emotional bliss and walk away with them before something else comes along and steals the color from them.
