And I feel like I could fall in love. Not again, but possibly for the very first time.

The height. The earnestness. The left-handedness. The subtle gentlemanly ways that don't seem contrived. The receptiveness. The lack of self-righteousness.

Rarely do you meet someone halfway intelligent without the superior attitude.

Rarely do I meet someone who meets me halfway on a lot of issues.

Someone who just makes me feel SO at ease, where we don't have to worry about what next to say to each other.

But I keep telling myself not to fall too fast, too soon. I don't wish to put myself through the familiar agony. I don't want to be dependent and vulnerable.

We don't talk very much about our private lives though. I wonder if he's just as afraid as I am. I have a feeling that we're both carrying a lot of emotional baggage.
