Make Time For Me

It's only been a couple of weeks since I met you and I've gotta say you're already making an impression on me. So many times, I've thought about spending days with you. Going to church, traveling to events, getting in the car and driving anywhere. It's crazy, but I've even thought about you accompanying me when I do random grocery deliveries. I've never thought of that with any other girl. 

I've thought about our first phone conversation that took place on Labor Day. 1 hour, 4 minutes, 28 seconds. It flowed so smoothly. Like I was chatting with my best friend of five years. You knew how to respond. You displayed great listening, timely humor, and personal insight. You encouraged me, you lifted me up. As I hung up, I knew I wanted to do this with you more and more.

And that's what scares me. So many times in my life, I've had an initial burst of excitement over a girl and then I became too eager to move forward or too analytical of everything I'd say and do and it's backfired on me. I want to do this right with you, I believe that you are special, and I do not want to mess this up. 

You don't need a random guy to come along and add to your already heavy load. I don't want to be a burden on your schedule. I don't want to be an obligation for you to fit in. 

I honor and respect your goals and aspirations. I respect you as a woman and a fellow believer of Jesus Christ. I know I will make mistakes, but I pray you will give me the grace to learn from them.

I don't want to confess that I'm interested in being your boyfriend, that would be crossing a couple lines when it's so early in this process. But I'm curious where this can go. 

Do you feel the same? Will you explore it with me? Just say yes.
