Him (8)

I love you,
I'd like to say.

But "I love you" is a strong phrase and I'm afraid the young me haven't been able to understand it. It can be found anywhere; you can hear it and you can read it, it is a universally understood phrase.

"I love you" says a lot. It says about sacrifices. It says about commitment. It says about devotion. It says about dependence. It says about desire. It says about acceptance. It says about two people.

I love you,
I'd like to say.

But let me start with something weaker. Something sweeter and fresh. Something that gives me more space for myself and less tightening bond with you.

It says about admiration. It says about fluttering hearts. It says about shared laughs and smiles. It says about beautiful dreams. It says about playing around. It says about wishes....

...I like you.
