I Love You

By Vera Espiritu •
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
