him and i are one and the same: curious. full of love. cautious. sensitive. they say curiosity killed the cat and though we are scarred, maimed, and hurt, neither of us are dead. we are both still alive. still full of caution and still full of love. we want what's best for everyone else so badly we forget to think about what's best for ourselves. but the beauty of having a best friend who is like that, is i know he'll always make sure i am okay even if i forget to.
and all he has to ask is do you want to talk about it? he reassures me he's here for me and i break down crying. i couldn't tell if i was crying because of his genuine need for me to be okay or because only one other person has ever had the ability to make me feel so loved.
i wouldn't ever know how to return the favor unless it's in the form of smiling fondly and hugging and i love you's because honest to god i'm not good at much else. i know how to love and i think i know how to express it but sometimes it shows in funny ways; just like last night my version of i love you too was sobbing and smiling and constant thank you's and sorry's.
but right now my version of i love you too is this piece.
