If You Love Him Next,,

if you love him next,, If you love him next, please remember that he is a very fragile human. He won’t always show it or tell it but he is, I know because I stayed up one late night so he could confide in me what he hasn’t told the others. If you love him next, please remember that he means it when he says he loves you. There will be times that he won’t always say ‘I love you’ but he says it in the little things, in the way he tells you to eat breakfast and go to sleep early, to care for yourself. I know because he tells me these things when I am afraid that no one loves me. If you love him next, please remember that he can be distant at times. He might not text you for a few days or not be as talkative as he usually is, he might not always answer right away or takes things into priority, but he does not mean this in a negative way at all. I know because when we go days without talking, he always returns with a tight embrace and a smile on his face. If you love him next, please remember that he is shy and quiet. He won’t always text first or answer phone calls, but he is not ignoring you, he won’t always talk first and it will take a while for him to open up to you, but when he does, respect that above all else. I know because it took nearly two months for him to be comfortable around me, but once he was, my God nothing is better than that feeling of laughing over absolutely nothing with him. If you love him next, please remember to only do things you mean. Do not say I love you if you do not mean it with everything you have, do not say I hate you if you do not mean it, and do not brush him off if you are trying to get him closer, he will be hurt. I know this because he has told me the story of the girl who said she loved him and hurt him more than anyone else, and nothing is more painful than the hurt in his voice when he said that. If you love him next, please remember that he is a very important human. He will love you with all he is and for all you are, he will stay up late to talk to you and not sleep until he knows you are alright, he will be there for you in your best and worst times, he will give you the space you need but he will never leave. If you love him next, please remember to love him kindly and carefully, to ask how he is feeling, to be there for him when he needs you, to hold him in a tight embrace when he doesn’t have the words to say. I know this because I loved him before I knew him, and I love him after I knew him.
