People say that love is a strong word. I think it’s just another meaning to have a powerful connection towards another person. It's like having them in a way that you wouldn’t with anyone else. Or thinking about them all the time to where you smile so uncontrollably that someone asks what are you smiling for. It's connecting and existing with someone on a deeper level. It's being able to share all of your hopes, dreams, and deepest secrets with them. It's saying “I love you” and meaning it. “I love you” means that you accept that person for the way they are and that you don’t wish to change them into someone else. It means that you’ll love them and stand by them even through the worst of times. It means loving them even when they’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do things you want to do. It means loving them when they’re down, not just when they’re fun to be with. “I love you” means that you know they’re deepest secrets and do not judge them for it, asking in return that they don’t judge you for yours. It means that you care enough to fight for what you have and that you love them enough to not let go. It means thinking of them, dreaming of them, wanting and needing them constantly, and hoping they feel the same about you. And I would like to start by saying that I love you. So much. With all my heart. And I really truly mean that. I just love everything about you. I love how your eyes glisten in the sun when we get outside or when the light hits you just right. I love how they can change from green to hazel or when you look at me and they dilate so much. Or when they get so wide because something was funny or shocking. I love how you smile so much and you’re just a happy person in general. Also how when you smile, you cover your face because you don’t like your smile even though you have the most beautiful smile in the world. Or when you bite your lip to get to me, which you do, a lot. I love how when I’m mad, you cup my face to get me to look at you. Or when I’m upset and you do the pouty lip to get me to smile. Or when I get jealous and you have to do your serious face for me to stop. I love how you can all lovey dovey and then you can turn all seductive in the time span of like two seconds. I love how your hand fits perfectly in mine like they were made for each other. Like the universe just knew that you and I were supposed to be together. I love how when we hug, you sometimes snuggle your head in the crook of my neck as if you were a little kid. I just love you in general. I like we kinda just drifted together too. Like we were going to end up together. And if not now then later on when we were older. Because we are just kids falling in love. And I thought that I was going to be single for the rest of my life because no one showed interest. But you did. I remember the first time we had kissed. It was late at night, and we both stayed after school. The feeling of the cold wind blowing against my face and the light from the streetlight shining down on us. It was like the stars from the sky had flown in your eyes to make them twinkle. And as we stood in the night’s gaze, I was finally able to hold you in my arms and get a feel of your soft lips for the first time. It was like an electric connection flowing through us. I’ve only felt this way once and that was so long ago. And for you to bring back these feelings makes me scared for what the future may hold for us but I hope that it’s all good. I never knew you were the someone for me. I found a love just for me. And I’m happy I did because without you there is no shine to my sunny day. No warmth in my hugs. No kiss to my lips. No hand for mine to hold. No love for my heart. I would do anything for you because you mean just that much to me. You are truly worth it. I would take so many risks and obstacles to show how much I do. There isn't enough love in the world to even begin to express how much I love you. And I always want for you to know that. No one's ever going to take you away from me. You are mine and only mine. I know that sounds a little possessive but I’m just stating facts. And I’m not going to run to anybody. Because I don’t want anybody else and I’m pretty sure nobody wants me in return anyway. But I just really wanted to say that you mean a lot to me. And I would tell the whole world if I could but sadly I can't. Just, I love you.
