him

once there was a time

when you looked at me from far

our eyes would meet from across the room , and we both felt it.

i admired everything you showed me, said to me , told me;you inspired me.

you inspire me.

i would often want to touch you , not for lust , but to feel the heat from your body , the soft of your skin , just something to remind me that you are still human , like me,and her,and him.

i would wrap myself in the idea of you , become the things you liked, talk to you about things nobody else did. i wasn't falling in love with you , but it was similar.

you told me that you really cared about me , that you thought i was different, cool - the only person you made an effort with . it made me happy.

you made me happy.

it felt like the spirits in our bodies had mixed, you were half of me and i was half of you. however this feeling was not romantic . i didnt want you to notice me , although i knew you did . i didnt want you to look at me and tell me that you think i'm beautiful, i knew you didnt . i didnt want to be your girlfriend , or hold your hand and flirt with you . this feeling was neither love, nor lust , and it didnt even feel like friendship . the only way i could try to describe it is merely a connection.

 

but it's gone now,

along with our stability.
