Beautifully the Dentons

It was a thought, a single thought that stole my heart in an instant. We were in Ryan's bedroom, enclosed by a blanket wall, getting lost in the silent melody of joy that danced in the air like honey. Flowing sweetly, slowly, and holding each and every second together, the melody twirled and left smiles on our faces and sparks in our hearts. It was in the midst of the wonder of these moments that a thought slipped into my mind. A thought that instantly consumed my entire being, it whispered "I love you", followed immediately by a string of more thoughts, washing over me like a waterfall. "I love you, regardless of how you feel or where this leads, I love you. I love the person that you are, I love your light, I love your being, there is something special here and I love it undoubtedly and unconditionally". I watched Ryan with an unmistakable smile on my face. The thoughts flowing through my mind washing a peace over my soul that could only result in the most wonderful euphoria. Ryan sensed the shift in me and met my gaze. His eyes betrayed that he knew what had just passed through my mind, there was a pause, and then he asked. He asked me to voice what we both knew, "Tell me what is on your mind". Sometimes you don't know it's the right moment until the very second you are confronted with it. I automatically declined to share, my shyness creeping to the forefront, as I looked away and blushed. Ryan turned my face back to him and asked again for me to share the words I was holding onto dearly. When I looked back into his eyes, I was no longer shy and there was nothing I could do to stop the words from escaping my lips. I said, "I love you" and with it out poured my conviction, my heart, and my future.
