your fingers gently skim my skin, burning a trail that will never be forgotten.

i love you.

you smile down at me, eyes crinkling at the edges and your nose scrunched.

i love you.

your laugh perfectly encapsulates what happiness is to me.

i love you.

your arms make me feel safe, proving home was never a place.

i love you.

 

i have never experienced a love like this.

a love that is kind.

a love that is gentle.

patient.

supportive.

encouraging.

a love that grows with us.

a love that is carefree.

you have proven to me that love is not one-sided.

you have shown me that love is not constant bickering and

harsh comments thrown at one another.

 

with you,

love is "did you get home safe" texts and words of "i'm proud of you".

i love you.

love is yelling lyrics to old songs and comfortable silences.

i love you.

love is passion and butterflies, comfort and familiarity.

i love you.

i love you.
