spelling it out

Right now I love you like a best friend

like movie nights and coffee

ranting about work and only seeing each other on weekends

I love you like a best friend

we don't spell it out

it's love ya's

and ily's

and luv

not

I love you.

but I think it would be easy to love you

to slip into the idea of more than friends

to being my first phone call every time

to thinking about you at night

to holding hands

to saying I love you

all the way through.
