aromantic love letter
(because love comes in as many forms as there are people)
i love you
more than anything
i love the way your cheeks grow when you laugh
i love the way your eyes shine
i love your hands and how they feel in mine
reassuring that you’ll always be there
i love your dimples and your chapped lips
and how they part to let out sounds of happiness
and how you bite your tongue when you’re thinking
i love the books you read again and again
i love the movies we watch, together in your sofa
and how you cry at the end, always, even though you know how it ends
i love your band t-shirts, a few numbers too big
but it’s alright, it will shrink in the washing machine, you say
i love your messy hair around your face
and your old, tangled earphones, running from your phone to your ear like an umbilical cord
beating music into your ears
loudly in the Saturday evening,
softly in the Sunday morning
and i love your old, dusty typewriter, you got from your mother
you carry it down from the attic,
put words on a wrinkled paper
i love that
i love you
and although there are things i cannot give to you
even though you deserve it
i will give you what i can
and trust me on this;
i will give you my love
my heart
all of it
there are things i do not feel
but i’m not missing out
because trust me, my friend
i love you in the most non romantic way
i’m not like everyone else, it’s true
but my heart beats just the same
and it beats for you
