Unexpected

Thoughts I don't plan on telling the person this is directed to

Last night, you took me by surprise. It wasn't anything new. I just wasn't expecting it.
There was a slight pause in the conversation, but I was so anxious to eat for soccer, I barely noticed. It happened, and I didn't take the breath of air one takes during a pause.
You slowly looked up at me with those warm brown eyes, and with a small, simple smile, you said, "I love you, Carly." And just like that I noticed it all. My world sort of froze for a second, and I sat there. Shocked isn't the right word. Neither is stunned. It was unexpected is all.
I realized I was holding up time trying to take that moment in, and said it back. I meant it, but I wish I could go back and put all the emotion caused by your words that I felt behind it. I think I was smiling, but I can't really remember. All I remember is your face and your voice.
The moment was simple. It wasn't forced. It was happy. It was unexpected. It was perfect.
That's why I sat there in silence for a while. I was grateful in the moment, and if it hadn't been for the time crunch on both our ends, you would have known all this in that same moment.



I've come to the conclusion that my soft side comes out in internet form while the sporty girl I believe myself to be is what I wear on a regular basis in real life. So in other words, deal with the sap. And I type this to reinforce this with myself.
