love and love

there are things I love and there are things I love .
i love the taste of chocolate but I don't love chocolate.
i love the way your hair shines in the sun and how your eyes sparkle when you laugh.
i love how your perfume smells.
i love how your skin feels.
but I don't love you.
it took me far too long to realize that it wasn't love that i felt for you.
it was a kind of.. admiration of something pretty.
just how people admire the ocean and all its pretty colors.
i admire you and your pretty colors.
