Lurgee

There is no obligation in compulsion. There is only opportunity.

The strength of my feelings for you provides no script, but a theme. A broad truth. Maybe you don't know about my feelings, or maybe you don't care. Or maybe you do care, but not in wished-for forms. Regardless, I've learned something from them I didn't always have. Something important. Something better.

There is no one to one ratio for desires. There is no magical formula for fulfillment, one calculation for catharsis. Strong feelings do not require translation to specific circumstances. They are invitations, not needs. I should feel strongly about more of you. For as many of you as I can.

A few of you punch through my old habit of avoiding strong feelings for fear they'll fall short of the hopes and expectations that inevitably attach themselves. Those punches have hit me enough times that some sense is starting to settle. Thank you.

I'm in love with you. You're not the first, you won't be the last, and from moment to moment, none of it will ever be quite the same. But I am grateful for it. It means the world to me (just like you). There are no absolute truths following this, but there are some enduring implications, and I like those, too.

In humility, truth, and love,

I'm yours.
