just love

What I feel for you is different. I want you to be happy. I want you to have all the good things in the world. I know you are flawed. I know you're not perfect. But you're kind of perfect to me.

I am glad I got to say what I've been holding in for years and years in my heart. 

From the warm and golden-sparkling depths that I have when I think of you, I wish you all the happiness and success in the world, my friend. 

Is this what life teaches you, if you are lucky, if you live long enough? Over time things really do get better. The longing, wishing, hoping, the fun and happiness. I cherished it. It keeps growing. I don't know why when it comes to you. Maybe it's the magic of love at arm's length. Maybe this is just love. 

Thanks for letting me know you felt it too. Let's be great friends for as long as the universe allows.
