I woke up with love overwhelming my bones. I couldn’t help but smile when I woke up and at random moments when I was getting ready for school.
He’s the fella, but, more importantly, he’s my best friend. I’ve never been able to say that about anyone I’ve dated. We can easily switch the romance on or off depending on the situation. I’ve never been so comfortable around a boy in my life. I don’t have to hide things. I can speak Ebonics and he responds the same without a change of expression. We can stay in and watch movies or go out with friends. I’m never bored. I can easily talk to his family and I’m happy to have him hang out with mine. I can do some stupid dance and he doesn’t look at me like I’m dumb. He never makes me feel like I’m doing something dumb. He lets me complain to him.
I’m always afraid to tell people how I feel because I’m terrified that they’ll leave, but he knows everything and he’s still here.
Not to mention that a few months into our relationship, my cat had gotten run over and he wrapped him up and carried him from the street to my backyard. He had to see me being an emotional wreck that day. He heard me cry like a baby and he still called me when he got home.
I guess it’s just the little things.
