I LISTENED BETWEEN THE LINES
I listened between the lines and realized that maybe things weren’t always like I wanted them to be.
I, the prim and proper bombshell type wanted to pick up the phone and make the call of I would follow you anywhere.
Both parties had been holding back feelings that we had wanted, no needed to explore, but matter, energy, space, and time kept us from it.
I listened between the lines and thought did she really have those feelings too. From simple hugs to feeling those arms around me. From the word go it felt like more than a friendship, much more. Someone I could cuddle up with on the couch with the whole fireplace, rug, and hot chocolate things going on. Just because.
I listened between the lines and understood why I had an ex that cried when I said I loved her. Why when you open yourself up for someone and know that they have your every interest at heart it is the happiest yet most terrifying thing in the world.
I listened between the lines and wanted to hop in my truck, pack an overnight bag and drive to where she was just to feel her being ness close to mine. I thinking is this what it feels like to have a longing for someone. Being their everything. The reason why they get up in the morning and go to bed at night.
I listened between the lines and thought I am terrified but this feels so wonderful. How could I have dreamed for something so right and then be gifted with it only for me to feel like I’m jumping into a canyon instead of just over one.
I listened between the lines and thought if there was ever someone I’d want to spend the rest of my life with it would be her, because she is what I have looked for all my life, yet I cannot break my rule and only say hugs and kisses or I care for you deeply. I could easily fall truly madly deeply in love with her.
I listened between the lines and realized that I may just be fooling myself and have already fallen just not saying the words because no matter how strong I am and how I like to own my feelings it is a vulnerable position to share your feelings with someone and wonder if they feel the same.
I may listen between the lines but I share a soul, and the other part of that soul and mine are one.
