You Ease My Troubles

ThAt's What You do

Telling someone you are in love with them is different than saying you love them. When you tell someone you’re in love with them, you let them know that you have romantic feelings for them, ones that you are reciprocating from the feelings you are being sent. It’s the feeling of flying above the clouds on a hot air balloon made for two. Nothing can touch you, it’s just you and your love, up in paradise, no cares or worries to behold. It’s elation. On the other hand, telling the person you are in love with, telling them that you love them, is different in that you are letting them know you accept who they are, and you care for them beyond great measure. It’s what fuels the hot air balloon, allows you and your partner to reach such great heights. I am both in love with and love Kriselle Santillan. She lifts me up to a place of happiness that no one has ever been able to do. She is my co-pilot on this hot air balloon, the only one I want to take my journeys with. Being with her makes my life an adventure. Everything that ever happened to me, and will happen to me, all my experiences are better when I’m with her. Life is better when we’re together.
