Communication.

What can I say?
What can I do?

Theres so much to get out of you, that it's tough to know where to find it, exactly.
It's tough when you're as reserved as you are, because even speaking in things only you know make sense to you, can get me thinking way too hard.
And I worry.
You know I worry about you. I worry because I care so much. I care about you.

I care.

How many times can I say it? I mean it.

And you cant just be quiet because you think people don't care what you have to say. I know that could be a major chunk of your past, but as already stated: I care.

I don't just care, I listen. I love having conversations with you, because we both always have something to say.
I can see it in your eyes. I know. Youve always got something to say.
Why is it so hard for you to say it? I want to hear it.

When you cant find words, when you get in quiet spells, these random mood swings, I cant hope but that maybe you'll break your protocol and beat your programmed self to let it out.

A wise person told me today that the things that really make a relationship, and keep it are longevity, commitment, connection, and communication.

Communication is key.

So please, strike up conversation with me.
Tell me how you really feel.
Tell me it's true.
Tell me you want to jump, fall, be caught.

Because I'm ready to tell you all my secrets.

There's so much I want to say but I'm sitting here trying to figure out a way to construct everything.

You know the saying "actions speak louder than words"? Well it's true. And your actions (from what I gather) tell how much you do care in a million ways. Now it's up to the other person to allow your actions to make that person open up.

Just keep caring and being there. Keep your head up.

You can't make a person open up.

It's not really fair to expect them to.

In a relationship, it's a given that you will, and probably should to keep it working.

But some take longer than others.

If you don't think they're "opening up" in a suitable amount of time for you, then there's nothing you can do but be disappointed with that in yourself. Pushing onto them that they should always be telling you what they're thinking might only make them retreat even more.

If they're still there, then chances are they want to tell you.

But they want it to be on their own time.

When they feel it's right.

So you can be satisfied with that.
Or just give up.

I won't give up.
