today is the day that i promise
that I'm not going to give up on you, despite the fact that you have a girlfriend and despite
the fact that we aren't that great of friends, because for the first time in ages, I actually
kind of care - a lot more than I probably should - about you. And even though I don't believe
in the inane concept of what most of humankind call love, I'm willing to try to learn what it
means again, all for your sake, for you. I know you don't feel exactly the same way about me,
but the fact that you take time out of your day to talk to me, joke with me, argue and laugh and
smile with me, gives me that little spark of hope that fuels my determination. I have no
intentions of trying to break apart you and the girl you love, because I'm happy that you
have someone like that, even if it's not me. But that's not going to stop me from chasing my
dreams, that's not going to interfere with my foolish attraction to you. I'm not going to
deliberately stay away from you, even if I had the strength to. I'm just going to follow what
my half-beating heart tells me to, whether it leads me into the dangers of heartbreak and
pain or the paradise of falling for you deeper than I already have. So I say screw the
warnings, I know what I'm doing and what I'm getting into, today will be the day that I
promise to myself, my heart, and my head that you and I will happen, someday,
no matter what comes my way.
