there is no easy way to tell you that I think I love you,
especially when everyone is telling me to run to someone else,
especially when loving you means hurting him,
especially when there's a small chance you have a love for me in return,
but when I see life 10 years down the road I see dancing in the kitchen with you,
I see a smile that only you know how to pull out of me,
I see French toast & picnics in our backyard,
I see early mornings where you pull me from the covers with the smell of brewing coffee,
I see late nights where I do the same for you whenever there's a clear night & the stars are bright,
I see falling asleep on your chest during movies because they've never been my thing,
but waking up to the gentle vibration from your laugh,
and I guess all this is my way of saying I really want to choose you,
but not knowing how to,
and not knowing if I'm allowed to.
