love is so so so weird --it doesn't face forward does it?
when I get a message from you and it feels specifically from a person I wouldn't have known without your prior acquaintance / connection!
((beating around the bush))
this jump jump in my heart and it makes me want to jump to--but i settle down and try to contain it by tapping my fingers or writing a little note on my phones clipboard.

how do you deal with this feeling?
it's confusing--is love even the feeling behind this heart and body energy?
does love mean I have to also want to spend my life with a person or be romantic (last week a lady in a chair asked me why i said "eww" when she asked me if I see myself ever being in love or being romantic--it hurt so much but I held back the sticking out my tongue instinct)
but also love --right now is a blur, one that I like--the lady doesn't let me forget that it's safe..that i don't stick my tongue out while reading a message--it's like looking into someone's eyes--sticking my tongue out would compromise the moment--like one time i was about to say "dad you're so odd but i still love you" and he farted..then it ended the weird heart feeling..i was like oh dad you ruined the moment--but maybe my high and dry and binary expectations of love did more.
when I first started talking to this person apart of your people..I got the jump --waiting was a jump--now all it takes is a song --the sky--a trip down the sidewalk for the jump to come back--is it possible i'm in love because while talking to this friend of yours i have learned to be more in love--"i'll love the littler things"
love is rude!! it's a puzzle this way.
I'd never want to love someone who doesn't get the same type of jump and rush and sun when they think of me. as I do when I think of them.
this is why it's gross and confusing. and why I can't tell left from right today and why I never learned to tell time on a clock. dependency. my heart has been broken in small pieces but never all at once--loving a person fully and letting my heart jump--also means promising my heart a long and terrible fall.
that is what i'm scared of. that is why love is gross. that is why i'm forever projecting.

I didn't mean to fall in love with one of your lights in the dark--a human you know makes the world feel open--that saying "it's such a small world..huh?" I don't ((for weird reasons)) want to be in love...yet.
but, I love this person, but they are firstly yours! and I can't hold onto the secret anymore, so i'm gonna go to chelsea piers on the last day of this semester December 20th and scream it into a voice recorder and at the same time send it into the ocean.
forgiveness is a tough spot to be in. what kind of ceremony does letting go of love look like to you? we should join forces and protect each other from the grey area or explore it.
maybe this is why a character I'm trying to write into a play, Noah, has been showing up more.

They too know how to be prepared but love is a dance and improvisation--they do not know how to just dance, how to say yes and, how to continue..halting is easy.

and today I still love them. my stomach is screaming at my diaphragm to say it out loud--but I cannot yet, I just needed to tell you--fuck my protections and secrecy --you have great people near you.
I mostly want this person to find all the love they need into this end of 2016 and the start of the next year.
And I haven't thought about sticking out my tongue in a little boy way this whole time.
