There are things in life.

Things that mean something to you. Things that make you wish you weren't alive. Things that make you smile. Things that make you pee you pants. Things that make you wonder. Things that make you feel alive. Things that make you see. Things you like. Things you hate. Things that make you want to break down and cry. Things you love.

But, there are also people in life.

People that mean something to you. People who make you wish you weren't alive. People that make you smile. People that make you pee your pants. People that make you wonder. People that make you feel alive. People who make you see. People you like. People you hate. People who make you want to break down and cry. People you love.

So, you classify the things in your life in these categories. You classify the people in your life in these categories. But, the way you sort them is the hard part.

Really, what are the characteristics of the girl I'm completely in love with? Smart, funny, bold, daring, beautiful, brave, caring, and just simply perfect. My perfect. She makes me feel special. When I'm with her I wonder what I did to deserve knowing her. I look up to the sky and thank the lord that he gave me her. That he gave me the opportunity to get to know her.

But, I've been told that opportunity doesn't last forever. One day my window of opportunity will close. She'll be gone and I know I will never get another chance with her. That she'll probably live happily ever after and I'll be stuck in one place because I could never get over her.

So I have to get up and get her. Before it's too late. Before I end up sad and unhappy without her. I know I would. Because she is my life. The one I trust will all my secrets and the one who won't tell them.

But, I have kept secrets from her. I haven't told her how I feel. And I will. Because there will be no more secrets. None. Today I do it. Because the lord gave me a chance with her and I'm going to take it. Before my opportunity is gone.

I can do it. I can and I will. She isn't going to get away. Not in this lifetime or any. Because I love her. And I would do anything for her.

And I'm going to tell her exactly that.

"Nina?"

"Yeah Fabian?"

"There's something I have to tell you. Before my opportunity is gone."
