Deeply rooted

I am unduly impressed.
I concede defeat.
He is smarter than I thought.
Perhaps smarter and more driven than me.

Sometimes, I lose focus.
And wonder if sometimes admiration equates enduring love.
When friends ask me what I look for in a guy.
I always say, that I want to be with someone who constantly amaze me.
So that I will always find it refreshing, there is always another side of him to discover, something interesting you never realise initially.
That is a trait that is hard to detect in the beginning, but nevertheless important.

Many times, I feel I delve too much in my own thoughts, in my own life.
And I neglect things around me. Or fail to see what is happen around me.
Its times when I pause and stop for a moment that I realise there are things I never knew.
And I absolutely adore the feeling of discovery.
It is truly illuminating.

A simple code that I was so impressed with.
When I first read it, I thought it was so smart to come up with something like that.
It is however, smarter to know that someone broke that code without having prior information to it.
I was unduly impressed.

Perhaps he said it with resolve.
But the desire and quest for knowledge impresses me to no end.
I love ambition in a man.
A man without ambition is not a man.
I love how he says he wants to study and mean it.

It's times like these, that I am reminded of the person he is.
How fortunate of me, to love someone I admire.
Despite how I always refuse to show the admiration explicitly.
I am always implicitly impressed, and smile inwardly.
And I always remind myself, that I love the person he is, and not the person that he is when he is with me.

For it doesn't matter if he does not shower me with gifts.
It doesn't matter if he does not pamper me with promises.
It doesn't matter if he does not wear his expressions on his sleeves.

Because I love him, for the person he is.
For the drive he has,
The honesty he possess,
The interests he ardently pursue.
All these are definitely more than enough reasons for me to truly love him.
