I knew what love was,
But I didn't realise I never felt it, until you held me.
And love is different for every person,
But I'd wanna feel it with you.
Love is making flower crowns in the school break and putting them on each other's head.
(the flower crowns were just pretty, weren't they?)
Love is not really knowing, but it's okay, because you're with me.
(even though it was just a 'comforting friendship')
Love is staying at school until 5PM, and getting home too late, just so we could spend some time together.
(time we didn't know would make the difference)
Love is skipping class together, and hang out in the hallways.
(that's what normal people do, right?)
Love is laughing so hard that the teachers walking past wonder why we're crying in the hallway
(but weren't we just good friends back then?)
Love is doubting if you should maybe text the other, while they were waiting for it on the other side.
(but deleted texts don't count as actual texts, do they?)
Love is writing poems and poems while having no idea what you're writing, because you want to make the other happy.
(it's just not love if you don't read them)
Love is trying not to say "I love you," because you're not supposed to say that.
(if we don't admit to loving one another, we don't, do we?)
Love is drawing awful bathroom graffiti and being sad because the janitor cleaned off our huge "LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA"
(that was just casual fun right?)
Love is hugging each other almost every morning, because depression is a killer
(friends are there to comfort you, aren't they?)
Love is writing essays on how beautiful you are, or why you deserve love, because I felt like poetry wasn't enough.
(you didn't read the poems anyway)
Love is, I don't know. It doesn't matter. I can feel it when I'm with you, and that's the most important thing right now. As long as you want to feel that with me too, we're going to be okay.
I love you
How did we not know it was love back then?
