Shedding my shell

Yeah, I know. Stubborn.

But hey, I am who I am. The good part, is I only get better. I won't get worse.

Right now, and for the forseeable future, I will be acting like a completely love-stricken fool. This, my dear, is hard for me to accept. You have brought it out in me though. You've brought back that caring, and sensitive Mark that was locked away YEEEEEEARS ago. So, ultimately, I blame you for my cupid-like antics.

I do see it as a weakness though. I'm so wary that it will be taken advantage of. I need to tell you that I enjoy being this way. I love expressing these feelings because they simply aren't something I'm used to and I'm so excited to feel this way. I can keep doing it, and I want to keep doing it. Please never make me feel like I've lost control because of what I show you. Please know that I do it because I want to make you happy...which ultimately makes me happy.

This is who I am. The real Mark. I don't want to go back to that shell. It's dark and a little scary in there. Plus, it gets a little damp and that is just uncomfortable.
