The First 'I Love You'

                         I love you.

What did you say? 

                                I... I love you.

Babe you're speaking too quiet I can't hear you.

             Nothing, I didn't say anything.

I love you too. 

And I hope you know that I love you more than anything. More than I love the stars. I love you more than I love my pudding cups or payday. I love you more than I love all my candles that smell good.

I love you because you've treated me better than anyone in my past. I can't deny that.

Because you're the first boy to hold my hand in public like you're proud of me.

Because when I show you the darkest parts of my soul, you show me yours

and I am left not feeling vulnerable, no, but more loved than before. 

I love you because you can cry in front of me and know it's ok.

And when you tickle me I get butterflies and laugh so hard

My cheeks have begun to hurt because I smile so often,

but I wouldn't have it any other way, I love you.

It sounds so cliche, but I wouldn't want it

absolutely any other way, I love you.

Because you're my best friend.

And life is an adventure.

Let's explore some.

I love you.

Every single groove.

Every scar you've obtained.

Because I can see yours all over;

and you explore the ones that I've earned.

And we can share the stories about how we got them.

I will never get tired of the way you speak. It's so soothing.

And the way we fit together like puzzle pieces only made for eachother

And your heart beat when we cuddle. The rhythm goes in perfect time with mine

And I think that is what love is. When two people are so perfectly in sync with one another

Where they don't even have to talk but they know exactly what the other is thinking at that moment.

I don't know entirely what love is, but I want to explore the possibilities with you by my side, always
Time is on our side now. We are still so young. Let's explore this foreign feeling. Lets have some fun
Let's make some memories that might last forever and kiss a little too much and get drunk on the idea  of love.
