My trust in you bloomed out of nowhere.
It was so sudden and so quick to inflate that I was scared.
Scared of the fact that I could place my heart so willingly in your hands.
Fully knowing you wouldn't judge the overwhelming amount of emotions it contained.
Your smile made me smile and your laugh made me laugh too.
And slowly, bit by bit, I stole some parts of you.
I began laughing like you laughed.
Eyes full with tears, clutching my arm around my stomach.
I began saying things that you would say.
Stupid words and phrases that my brain automatically correlate with you.
And over the space of a few months I knew you better than I knew myself.
We talk about what you'll wear at my wedding and what you'll say to the guy that may steal my heart from you.
We talk about how much we worry for each other and our sudden change of moods. We pick up on each others grief through a simple text "hello".
My parents, siblings or crush will never know my good or bad news before I pick up my phone to meet and tell you. As I know that your advice and understanding for me is greater than the other special few.
And you're always the first person who I know will reply regardless of what you're doing and regardless of the time.
So when I give you my heart wholly I trust you enough to treat it as delicately as you treat your own.
Because even though this may sound like a unrequited love note I've left behind. Its not for any person besides you- My best friend as I love you more than I can ever love some guy.
