I never knew what love felt like until I looked at you and I felt nothing new.

I knew I was in love because thinking about you doesn’t keep me up at night.

I knew I was in love because I don’t think about you the moment I wake up in the morning.

I knew I was in love because I kissed you and you pulled away and said food was more important.

I knew I was in love because my heart didn’t jump out of my chest when I kissed the skin usually hidden by your clothes.

I knew I was in love because when you held my hand my knees didn’t go weak.

I knew I was in love because sometimes when I do hold your hand you say you don’t want to.

I knew I was in love when touching your skin didn’t give me tunnel vision for you.

I knew I was in love because we don’t talk to each other all the time.

I knew I was in love when you said you think it’s weird to text me goodnight.

I knew I was in love when I told you I’d never text you good morning.

I knew I was in love when I looked at you and I saw the same eyes from eight years ago looking back at me.

I knew I was in love because nothing about us changed.

I knew I was in love because you’re my best friend.

I knew I was in love.

I know I am in love.
