there are those in my life that i want to tell that i love them,
but i'm not in love with them.
there's a love i have for them, a love towards them,
but not a love i want to be consumed in
not a love i want to drown in
not a love that sinks deeply into my bones.
it's a love i feel true in my heart and want them to know,
but not be in it with them.
one day i'll find a love
so blindingly strong
that i must be enveloped in it
and that will be nice too
