I hope you know that I love you.
I love you in a way that not song can sing about, no poet can write about and no artist can paint about.
I love you like the way I love staring into the sky as the raindrops fall on my nose.
I love you like I love the feeling of being drunk on a Tuesday with nobody around.
I love you like I love sitting in a bath with nothing but silence and flickering flames.

And you, you look at me and see us as 'just friends'
But I've seen just friends and they don't look at each other the way we do
And they don't touch each other the way we do
And they don't kiss each other the way we do.

We're not just friends, we're just two lonely teenagers afraid of love and commitment, expecting a movie kind of love
But baby, this isn't a movie
You're not going to sweep me off my feet
I'm not going to wait for years for you
You're not going to stop me at the airport and save me from myself

And that's okay.

Because I love you.

And I know,
you love me too.
