I feel like the love I feel for my friends and the love I feel for my partner/crushes are different yet also similar? I love my friends and my crushes(or lover) in a way where I want to make them happy and I want them to talk to me about anything and everything, I want to take all their sorrows when their with me, that's the part where romantic and...... reply
