An extract from a book i'll never write | Poetry |

50: I LOVE YOU IT'S TRUE

I love that you are the only girl I've ever said those words aloud to.
I love that you said it first even though I'd been feeling it for ages.
I love it when you touch me.
I love that I still get a thrill when you hold my hands.
I love that kissing you feels like coming home.
I love that you always if that's it's ok.
I love that you meet me halfway.
I really love it when you touch me.
I love that I love touching your hands making me feel safe.
I love that I love touching you because i want to and not just because I know it'll make you happy.
I love laying down next to you and just being close to you.
I love the way I smile when I think of you.
I love the way I see your eyes light up when you see me.
I love how you're afraid of things just so that I can protect you from dangers.
I love having out inside jokes that whenever said always cause you to smile and laugh.
I love how you care for me more than I do.
I love how you are my minds medication and you silence all the demons running all my feeling.
I love how whenever you see me you check my hands to see if they're not in pain.
I love how I check your hands to see if you're taking care of yours too.
I love how you used to draw me how perfectly you drew me.
I love how you think of me as art and I think of you like a poem that I could never finish writing because how do I write about my whole world in just one poem.
I love you taste in music and how I can relate to all the songs that you show me.
I love how even on the worst days you make everything so much better.
I love how I can never think clearly when sitting next to you.
I love how peaceful time goes on when near you.
I love how with you my days are slower because I want to remember everything that what happens when I was with you.
I love how you don't judge me when im strange or being a total nerd.
I love how you make me feel all fuzzy inside.
I love how my heart is always in my throat whenever I think of you.
I love that I can be stupid and silly and that you'll laugh with me.
I love that it doesn't matter how broken I feel, the part of me I've given to you will always feel whole.
I love that you switch sides so my hands can stay warm when we're walking together.
I love that your hands fit perfectly when intertwined with mine.
I love how safe you make me feel.
I love that that safety came with friendship and that attraction isn't an issue.
I love that I fit in your arms as my head can just about rest on yours.
I love that when if ever I kissed you, your lips and mine can come together so perfectly.
I love that everything feels like it was supposed to be this way.
I love the way you whisper beautiful things when we're alone together
But mostly
I love that you love me.
And I love that I loved you long before you said I love you to me first.
