Is it lust…or something deeper?

From the second our hands touched, Marlee stole my heart.

She's everything I've ever dreamed of in a girl, but a dream is all she'll ever be.

I try to forget about her.

Try to wash her memory away with shots of mind-numbing tequila,

but I just can't let her go.

As the days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months, my feelings remain just as strong. No other girl comes close to what she does to me, which is kind of ridiculous considering we've only shared a few words.

After almost a year of ups and downs, with downs being in the majority, I'm finally becoming the person I want to be.

Will my new grasp on life give me the courage to talk to the girl who stole my heart, or is it time to let that dream go?

Either way, it's time to stop letting life pass me by.
