Love for a friend

The feeling of falling in platonic love with a friend

I am overwhelmed by you

You make me feel everything, all at once

It is like a whole new world

Where everything is a little brighter

I want to be in your world

To be in your awareness

To wander, happily lost, in your mind

I want to be there for you

To share in your joys

To shoulder your sadness

To do all that I can for your heart 

I am in love with you

In a way that is not sexual

but fundamental 

It is the core of my humanness

Extending beyond my ego

and far beyond my control

I love you
