When Did This Get So Complicated?

Sometimes… most of the time… I really wish I could tell you how I feel. How much I care for you. Or the fact that I want to hold your hand.

There are days when this feeling gets too overwhelming that I don’t know how to deal with it anymore.
Should I just tell you how I feel? And how would you react?

Laugh it off?
make a face and say “what?”
Tell me that you love me back?

This. This was supposed to be a joke. A fling. It’s supposed to mean nothing.

But this turns out to be the exact opposite of it.

Know that I love you.
That I care for you.
That I want you to tell me stuff just for the heck of it.

Is that too much to ask?
