"I like you too"

What happens once two people have just told each other that they like each other? Do they date, start a relationship, go from there?

It's awkward. It's like the first kiss, where both parties don't know each other's style, but will eventually get used to each other and be able to adjust accordingly. We've got our ways of expressing our interest to each other, and yet silence still seems to punctuate it. Something's there and we both know it. It's almost agonizing that we're not spending time together out any sooner.

It's been a while since I've experienced intense mutual attraction. It's exhilarating, and my head is reeling from the possibilities. I anticipate the sparks in the physical affection, the feeling of liking, admiring, respecting and getting the same thing in return. Just for this moment I proudly toss away using the statement, "I'm single." No more doubts like the past ones, I really look forward to a relationship, because he is it. Someone I see to as analytical, a good listener, wise, cool and calm on the surface but feels deeply, and cute too. No more "wanting out from the very beginning," because there's the security of him seeing me as wonderful, just as how I see him too.
I have a feeling this state of being in the air won't last forever, this being consumed by thoughts of him, this rush of joy. Maybe that's not such a bad thing, since I still have a life of my own to get back to. Still, it's not like I should take my breathless anticipation for granted. Being in love with love is a happy feeling, but there's a reason why it's temporary.

We couldn't be happier,
Right, dear?
Couldn't be happier, right here
Look what we've got, a fairy-tale plot
Our very own happy ending
Where we couldn't be happier
True, dear?
Couldn't be happier
And we're happy to share
Our ending vicariously
With all of you
He couldn't look handsomer,
I couldn't feel humbler,
We couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true!
