When I think about you, I imagine that we both spend our lives apart being independent, dating other people, perusing our own goals and dreams. But eventually you come back here, and I’v become the type of women you want to be with, not just sleep with.

You’re an amazing friend, but I like you so much more than that. I think you’re an incredible human, flaws and all, and when we talk on the phone I have to bite my tongue to stop from speaking with my heart.
You are truly one of my favorite people to be around.
Your laugh fills a room with joy
Your mind is so different to mine and absolutely fascinating because of it.
I admire how amazingly driven and capable you are
You’re as handsome as your smile is charming

Instead I bury the words, because speaking them is honestly pointless, or would hurt me to say aloud. You don’t want my love, but you care about our friendship and me, and that is still such a treasure. But sometimes I close my eyes at night and imagine I’m falling asleep on your chest, and I finally dig up the ‘I love you’ that has been in my heart for you for too long.
