I love you
Not romantically
not sexually 
but spiritually 

I love you like 
I'd love myself

Although we're different 
I think we make up 
part of a whole

You are the first person
I've said these three,
meaningless, cliche, 
and utterly pointless 
words to 

And yet, I feel like
it holds the weight 
of space

And I meant it
without regret
without reluctance 

I love you
