but I love the way you laugh, and
      how your eyes squint up,
       and you bare your teeth.

I love when I feel the warmth
    of your calloused hand
       hugging my cheek.

You know how you always seem
    to just, stare into my soul?
            I love that too.

But what I love the most about you
          is that I don't have to try,
                 to be anything.

I love how you can put me at ease,
     because that is something
       that no one else can do.


                                                           ­                                     I don't love you.
                                                            ­                                                                 ­       But I want to.
