‘Is there anything else you want to tell me?’
I want to hold your hand. I want to kiss your lips, your forehead, your arms, your stomach. I need your hug to feel safe. Your smile makes me smile like nothing else. The way you look at me makes me shiver. When you call me, just the way you say my name, can cause a thunder in my stomach. Yes, a thunder, that’s too strong to be butterflies. You’re so beautiful. You’re the first person I want to love. I want to take care of you. Help you cry when you need to. Help you laugh when you need to. I always liked you a little bit. I’m sorry I ran from my feelings. I love you.
‘No, everything’s the same as always. You know life’s boring.’
