I love you

I love you. It really is that simple. I don’t want to kiss you, marry you, or have sex with you, but I love you.

You see, friendship is love too.

And really and truly I do love you. I will love you until the day you stop being there when I need you. Until the day you stop needing me too. Until the day where you stop hugging me so tightly it feels like your fitting the broken pieces of my soul together.

I love you with so much of my heart that sometimes I don’t have enough love to give myself, but you do that for me anyway. You don’t have to but you do, you always have and something tells me that you always will. Just as I will always do the same to you because,

I love you. Love does not mean romance, not here. Here it means honesty, and hugs, and watching super hero movies in our pyjamas and talking about the people we want to kiss with wide grins and joyous laughter.

I love you because you make my day brighter. Your smile, your laughter, your jokes they all make my mornings bearable and my afternoons wonderful. They help me survive through the night. Even your anger and tears make me love you more because we are only human and its okay to feel things. You remind that it’s okay to feel things. I may still be learning that, but you sure are a determined teacher.

I love you. The simplicity of the phrase the simplicity of our love is what makes it so special, so dear to my heart because although I am not in love with you,

I love you. It really is that simple.
