I want you to know I’m happy as “just” friends. I’ve got no complaints, nothing to hold against you. And no, it doesn’t feel like settling.
Perhaps it seemed that way once; I think I just got caught up in the sparks and assumed they should lead to a roaring romance. But, no. I’ve come to see these friendly fireworks for exactly what they are.
Knowing you is joy. Laughing together is medicine. Having you on my side, in my corner, as a piece of my life is such a tremendous privilege. I don’t need romancing.
You are a treasure, and I will behold these moments together for everything they already are. It would be a shame to miss them, caught up in looking for all the things we’re not.
