When I say I like you, I mean I like you in the way I like black coffee. The way last seven months float sweet over my tongue. When I say I need you, I mean I need you in the way I need my blue jacket. The way you bow down to help me wear anklets. When I say I care about you, I mean I care about you the way I care about my diaries. The way I kiss your eyes before boarding the train. When I say I love you, I mean I love you the way I want to love my whole life. The way I want to spend every weekend telling you stories with my hands, and the way you swing my bag over yours. The way you hold my hand even in heat, even in crowds, even when I'm crazy. So, when I say I love you, I mean it, jaanu.
