There’s something about him that’s hard to explain but impossible to ignore.

He’s not the kind of person who demands attention instead he’s the kind who stays quietly in the background, somehow my eyes keep going back to him.

⠀⠀    i. ─── You beautiful in a way that’s both soft and solid but it’s more than that, it’s the way you exists without trying to impress anyone, you doesn’t speak a lot but when you do it feels like it matters, you listens, you notices the little things and moves through life like someone who understands more than you lets on. There’s this stillness in you that feels safe like a place you can rest not because you loud with comfort but because you soesn’t pretend and i feel it just being near you.

⠀⠀    ii. ─── What makes you different is how you makes the world feel a little slower when youre around like suddenly i more aware of the moment, more present. You gives people space to just be without judgment or pressure, i can laugh around you, be silent, be messy and you won’t flinch. You been through things i can tell but youre not hardened by them.

I don’t really know the right way to say this so i’m just going to let it all come out the way it’s been sitting in my chest for a while now like.. i like you and i mean it, in ways that have surprised me and honestly scared me a little too. It didn’t happen all at once it wasn’t a sudden until one day i couldn’t ignore it anymore, you started showing up in the little spaces of my day in the thoughts between conversations, in the way my heart felt a little softer just by thinking of you ..│ 21‘ s

I’m not telling you this to make anything harder, i’m not expecting anything from you and i’m not saying this because i want to force something that’s not meant to be. I just needed to be honest with you and with myself because these feelings they’re real and i guess a part of me hopes you might feel it too, that maybe in some small quiet way there’s something between us that’s been unspoken for too long but even if that’s not the case i’m still glad i feel this way about you because whatever this is, whatever it becomes or doesn’t become it came from a real place and that’s something i won’t ever regret.

𑣿 ₍ why you should date me? ₎
I’ve thought about this a lot not just about how much i like you but about what it would actually mean if we were together and i think we’d make something good.

I don’t want to just be someone who says sweet things or shows up when it’s convenient, i want to be someone who stays who grows with you, who chooses you on the good days and the hard ones too because loving someone isn’t just about how you feel but it’s about what you do with those feelings and im ready to show up for you not just to be in love with you but to actually love you in all the ways that matter.

You should date me because i see you not just the version of you that the world sees but the quieter, softer parts too and i don’t want to change any of it. I want to know more, understand more and be there for all of it. I’m not perfect, i get insecure, i overthink, i feel too much sometimes but i love honestly, i care deeply and when i choose someone, i give them the best of me, i’m not afraid of being vulnerable, i’m not afraid of effort and i’m not afraid of love especially not with you so maybe this is me saying if you let me in i’ll make it worth it not by being everything but by being real and sometimes that’s the best thing we can offer one another.

so after everything i’ve said maybe there’s only one thing left to ask, would you want to be mine?
