When you fall in love
you sometimes don't even realize.
You have known someone so long
and you know them so well
that you start to love them
even without realizing it.
It starts with the things you notice.
Just the little things,
the way he seems ducks his head when he talks to people
the way he tries to hide his smiles when you do something ridiculous
The way he does his hair
The way he pushes up his glasses
when they start to slide down his nose
the way he talks
sometimes hesitant but excited sometimes completely sarcastic
sometimes quietly
sometimes loudly.
You notice the way he laughs contagiously;
the way he smiles and lights up the world,
or at least, it seems that way to you.
You notice when he gets a new ring,
you know when something is wrong.
You know things no one else in the world would know about him
unless they truly loved him.
But he's just a friend....
Right?
