This was something I wanted to get off my chest (at around 3 AM this morning) so apologies for this being short and a bit on the sappy side. I wanted to do this through a male's perspective and who better than Luigi? Sometimes I feel a little bit like him (mostly with the shyness). I really don't want anyone's pity, I'm not looking for that. I simply wanted to express myself with the few ways that I could.

Love Struck or Lovesick?

I never thought I could ever feel this way for someone. When I see her, I can't help but blush. I just want to hold her and never let her go. I always feel shy when I'm around her at first but my confidence slowly shines through to a point where I just grab her and pull her into a kiss, leaving her surprised. I sometimes feel proud of myself doing something like that.

We do have our little moments once we're alone. Unfortunately, Mario is always around the house so we have to be careful. It's not like we're doing anything inappropriate but still… Sometimes he just barges in while Daisy and I are just talking. There have been a few occasions where I simply want to kick him out of the house so we can have our privacy.

It's when Daisy leaves that I begin to feel completely different. This doesn't show until when I'm alone in my room. I start to feel a bit depressed as I sit in bed wide awake. My eyes would glimmer with tears but I try to shake them away. I'm not supposed to cry. I'm a grown man for crying out loud!

Then again, I can't help but feel pathetic. But I can't seem to help it for some strange reason. Her sweet smile, her competitive personality, and the way her eyes shimmer with anticipation when we're about to kiss… All of it keeps popping back into my mind while fighting the tears.

Its strange how love can bring joy and yet still hurt at the same time. I know that Mario has never felt hurt at all when he's with Peach. So then why do I feel this way?

Then again, I've never really known what it's like to be in love before. Who knew it could be exciting but also painful? I didn't know that I'd miss Daisy this much. I'd try to keep my mind off her but I end up thinking of her even more.

No one knows that I'm feeling this way, not even Mario and I always tell him everything. I'm afraid of what everyone would think of me.

Great. I probably sound like a fool right now, don't I? But can you blame me? How many of you felt like your soaring through the skies without a darn care in the world while at the same time your heart feels like it's gonna break? Yeah, I thought so.

I just can't stand the thought of losing her. If that were to happen, then I'll do the right thing and try to move on. Everyone knows the old saying, "Plenty of other fish in the sea".

I'm not sure why but everything keeps bubbling up in me and I don't know how much longer I can take it. I want to tell Daisy but I can never muster up the courage to say it straight to her face. Thank my shyness for that. Sometimes, I want to slap myself for being this way. I just wish I had the guts to say what was on my mind and let it out.

I probably sound like a basket case right now, right? Sorry. I just don't know what to do anymore. I hate being so shy in the first place. I think it keeps popping up like one of those Boos in that horrible mansion.

I always feel attracted to Daisy. I can't get her out of my head. But does that make me love struck, or just lovesick? I don't really know at all.

As much as I want to tell her, it seems that I just can't despite my efforts. Oh well. I guess I'll have to wait then.
