I think I like you. It's a different feeling than I had in the past. It's not lust. I don't feel obsessed. I'm not addicted to you, I don't feel the need to be around you every waking moment. Though, I look at your lips and I can imagine myself kissing them. You smile at me every time I walk pass like you know me. We dance and we have fun, and there are no awkwardness, no tension. I like your energy, the way you smile; it's comforting, contagious and I feel more alive just being next to you. I don't feel the pressure of needing to impress you to make you stay. You welcome my presence and I welcome yours. We sit and there are moments of silences. However, it's never awkward; no matter how long the silence is. A conversation would come into mind and we would talk like we've known each other for a long time; old friends simply catching up. Yet, we have encountered fewer times than the number of fingers in one hand. I see you are ill this evening, and I have a strong desire to make you better. Yet, I have no remedies. Maybe just being next to you will help.
