There is a boy I know

Who I love deeply.

But I'm not in love with him.

I want him to hold my hand

and hug my tightly when I cry

But I don't want to jump in bed with him. 

My favorite thing is to stay up late at night

Just talking about life.

And my favorite sound

is that of his laugh

because it means I made him smile.

He's the one I want to talk to

When I need someone to listen.

No, I am not in love with him,

But I do love him

in the most innocent way.
