It's a Learning Process

Dear Love,
I waited so long for someone like you to come along. Someone like you to make me laugh and smile uncontrollably. Someone to make me feel beautiful inside and out. I've waited for so long to be able to tell someone "I love you" and mean it. I'm sorry that sometimes I seem distant and disconnected. I'm sorry for not being able to take your compliments and be able to smile without covering my face. I'm sorry if I said "I love you" too early or if I speak of the future too soon. I'm sorry if I come off as over eager. I'm sorry if I speak on topics that are of no interest to you. I'm sorry for the scare we had. Just know that when I say "I love you", I mean it with all that I am. Sometimes I don't even feel like those three words are enough to truly express the way that I feel about you. Maybe that's not normal? Maybe I'm not normal? These are the thoughts that keep me up at night. The thoughts that rattle around in my brain and tug at my heart strings. These are the thoughts that I'd like to tell you without scaring you. I don't know how to do this, and I know that may seem odd to you. But please bear with me and I promise not to ask you if "I'm doing it right" every five seconds.
Love,
Someone who is learning how to be loved
