heart

Overflowing presence

| Don Normantico

Oh, don’t you stare at me like that. You don’t need to. I have fallen a million times already, and I am still falling. No one can ignore your brilliance. Your radiance fills the room. You’re kind and sweet, smart and beautiful. With your charm, everyone looks at you. With your charm, I am desperate to make you mine.

Yet silence reigned. I thought I was good with words, but with you, I am speechless, just listening. Searching for every subtle hint you might reveal, practically drowning in your overflowing presence. Come closer and listen to my heart; you don’t want to miss its sincerity.

Scared of falling

| Don Normantico

You were so good at showing your feelings before, why not now? You’re scared. Scared of falling into a pit that can easily shatter your heart right away, like last time. You lost everything and gained nothing at all. That’s defeat, you see, and everything in you was affected by that mistake. One mistake. You’ve lost faith and become doubtful, so unsure.

Okay, fine, you did your best last time, and almost every time you got away with no baggage at all but not this time, not with her. You can try to love again once more like before, or you can bury yourself in that feeling; and something tells me it’s the latter you’ll choose. Don’t get me wrong, but just let it go, no explanations, just let it fade away. Don’t ask me how. You’re better than this and you know it.

I know you caught everything I just said, as you usually do. But I can see your distrust. It wasn’t really your fault. You merely assumed.
