When you love someone, you should tell them. It's up to the other party to decide what comes next.

Perhaps I can never go back and say what I should have. Perhaps I can never look forward and tell myself I'll be something specific. Perhaps I can just let the hands of time and the hands of God create a path for me from the decisions I've made. Or, is it, that only death is absolute when God is the only thing in control of time?

You don't get any replays in this life.

Staying safe might be the best option, especially if he contacted you in the midst of danger. Because of that, you either mean a whole lot to him or nothing at all.

Feelings don't develop this deeply for someone you just met... and yet... here I am.
