Do you know who you are?

Do you have any idea how you make me feel? How excited I get when I'm near you?

Can you tell?

Do you know how much I dream about you? How many times I've wanted to grab you, just to hold you? 

Do you think I'm talking about you?

Do you know how much I miss you when you're gone? When we touch by accident can you tell what I feel?

Do you know who you are?

Why do I feel this way after such a short time? Why does your smile dazzle me so much?

Is this you? Do you hope it is?

Do you know how important you've become to me? Do you feel this way too?

Do you care?

Do you know I can see things others can't? Do you know the beauty I see in you?

Do you feel?

When you close you eyes can you feel my caress? Is it all that you hoped?

Do you understand?

Are the things that I write getting through? Can you see the forest for the trees?

Do you love?

Do you know I can't stop thinking about you? Do you know how I long for you?

Are you here?

Do you know why I married you? Are you glad that I did?

Was it you?

Do you wish it were?

When I was a young man, I would always see men walking along with beautiful women. I would look at them and think "Why is she with him? I have everything he does, why can't I find a woman like that to love me?

And now I walk down the street with you, and I see young men looking at us. And I can tell they're thinking the

    exact

                same

                            thing.

Whatever is holding you back let it go. You're never facing anything alone, remember that. People you don't even know are pulling for you. Sometimes you have to trust your instincts; believe that you're right, no matter what. Trust is something that takes years to gain and seconds to lose. Don't squander the opportunity you have. Stop being afraid; the worst thing that can happen is that you are in the exact same position you were before you started.

But you have to take the shot, no matter what. Never miss an opportunity to tell someone you care about them. All too often they're gone before you know it.

Let me know what you think.
