To my dearest, ___

I wanna be the melting candle to your flame
Your closest friend, your fiercest love, one and the same
Some things will never ever change

I don't even know how to start this without sounding stupid, pero bahala na.
It's not like I have the right words anyway.
But lately, I've just been catching myself thinking about you more than I probably should.
Not in a big romantic way or anything.
Just… you come to mind. A lot.

Like when something funny happens and I wonder if you’d laugh at it too.
Or when I hear a song that feels like a version of how I see you—soft, steady, kind of comforting in a way I didn’t expect.

I’m not trying to be dramatic. I’m not even sure what this all means.
But there’s something about you that’s hard to shake off. Not in a way that overwhelms me—it’s not like that. It’s more like… I just genuinely like having you in my headspace.

I don’t know what this is or what it’s supposed to be.
All I know is that you cross my mind more often than I expect you to.
And I guess this is just me being real about it, for once.
Not because I need to know where we stand. Not because I’m expecting anything.
Just… I’d rather let it out than keep pretending it’s not there.
