The Necessities of Life

Whenever he is around, sparks are flying. There is a strong connection between the two of you. You have deep, sentimental feelings for him, but you are unsure if he feels similar to you. He seems to care about you much differently than everyone else. His eyes glow, and his smile lights up the room. His kind, generous heart gives you an endless sensation of butterflies. There are so many traits about him that make him different from the others, and the amount of similar ideas you share is ironic. You spend much quality time together so, that sometimes you forget what is actually going on in the world around you. The bond you two share is much different compared to other companions. If all of this seems true, then why must he not see the world as you see him? Why is he falling for someone else?
