Confession To Self

I’m lost for words and I can’t really understand why I have such strong feelings 
for this man. Never before have I smiled so much or even threw on a blush. But 
it’s something about this boy that I can’t apprehend. Why I feel this way is a 
mystification to me. My heart refuses to skip a beat. My feelings are overlapping 
and my mind is continuously racing. With thoughts of him being contested every 
day. My emotions becoming unbearably revealing with each moment I hear his 
voice. I don’t understand the emotions filled with adulation, affection, devotion, 
and enchantment. Not knowing what love is but thinking it’s there. I have 
substantial animosity that I feel I should share. Can he behold the infatuation that 
is there? Does he distinguish the sentiment that I hold? Why can’t I just 
announce the antagonism that is there? I don’t perceive the detachment between 
my feelings and my mouth. Why can’t I just extinguish them? Why don’t I let them 
out? I think I’m going to tell him but I don’t know what he’ll say. But my 
compassion wants me to let him know anyway. I’m not going to hold it in 
anymore because if he cares he will surely understand. Even if he doesn’t I have 
to reveal this because it’s what my heart commands.
