You Should Know

I have loved you in every sense of the word. You have been a friend, a best friend, and closer to me than family. I have been in love with you. I think maybe you may have been in love with me too. Maybe for a day or two we were even in love at the same time. But I never told you because I love you too much. The thought of us being in love and then falling apart was too much for me to stand. We could have had the kind of love that people write songs about. I could have died happy knowing that you loved me the way I loved you. I could have married you, built a life with you, and grown old with you. But the even 1% chance that going down that road would mean losing you was too big a risk. I love you too much to not have you in my life. I love you. You can take that to mean whatever you need it to mean.
