i asked him,
"why do you like me?"
he looked at me like it was
the stupidest question ever.
right away, he answered.
"because you're beautiful,
you're smart,
you're the nicest person i know."
i was about to interrupt me,
but he went on.
"you're always there for me,
and you don't care what other people think.
you have an amazing personality,
and i would kill to see you smile.
you're pretty much amazing."
"wow," i breathed.
"by the way," he said, smiling.
"i don't like you."
my heart felt like it dropped to my stomach,
but then he hugged me and said,
"I love you."
