how to subtly tell your best friend you may be falling for her

step one: don't

      Don't do it. by all means do not fall for her. don't imagine driving in her car with the sunroof open. dont imagine dancing with her in the rain. don't imagine kissing her on a plain ordinary midsummer day.

step two: if that fails, sucks to be you.

step three: don't say this:

     if i could love you without losing any part of you i would say everything that crossed my mind. if the risk of you not being by my side was nonexistent you would know what i think. hell, we'd be on a date to a bookstore or bowling or something silly, or I'd at least asked you.

but what is love without risk- what is love if not risk.

to be so vulnerable as to tell someone you love them is like opening your chest to allow someone to count your ribs. to examine your organs. to love is to allow someone to watch the blood flow through your body and not care if it stained their sleeves. putting your heart there must leave a large mark

i want to carry my heart on your sleeve and live in your head. i want to know the thinkings and unthinkings and why you decide to cut your hair every summer. i want to know what you see in the mirror and why isn't it what i see.

you say we're two halves of a whole. separated so our power could be contained- would the world end if we kissed?

step four: dont say that for sure. it isn't subtle.

step five: maybe say something like " i think a lot about you in contrast to how much we've spoken. " or " you're the end of summer to me. warm and comforting. you're like the perfect cup of coffee. "

step six: maybe those are two forward. maybe say " i imagined us making coffee together. " or " theres a silly rom-com coming out soon "

step seven: or maybe just say " goodnight. i love you. don't let the bedbugs bite. "
