I love how your melodic laughter rings in my ears,

Sending a pang of happiness pulsing through my veins.

I love the lingering feeling of delight after our late night phone calls,

Because it reminds me I do have one good thing in my life.

I love feeling the laughter tickle the back of my throat,

As I listen to you be yourself.

I love the sense of security that warms my body,

Because I know I have someone watching over me.

I love feeling my heart flutter when your name lights up my phone,

Because it reminds me that I'm wanted.

I would talk to you forever if I knew what to say.

I love the feeling of platonic intimacy between us,

Because of that beautiful connection we've formed over the years.

I love how often you're on my mind,

Which floods my body with a constant buzz of happiness.

I love how you leave me breathless after each of our phone calls,

As I soak in the details of our complex conversations.

I​ ​love​ ​feeling​ ​the​ ​confused​ ​tears​ ​threaten​ ​to​ ​spill​ ​down​ ​my​ ​cheeks,

As​ ​I​ ​hear​ ​you​ ​talk​ ​about​ ​your​ ​struggles.

Happy​ ​tears​ ​because​ ​you​ ​trust​ ​me,​ ​but​ ​sad​ ​tears​ ​because​ ​you're​ ​hurting.

I love how raw and genuine you are,

Which always leaves me wanting more of what you have to say.

But most of all,

I love you.
