its not flirting if you tell me on several occasions that you love me.

It’s not flirting if we have phone sex and sext on an almost daily basis. 

It’s not flirting when you tell me that you want so much to be near me

It’s not flirting when you tell me you like to think about the “what ifs” And when I tell you the things I want in a man, promptly reply with how you are exactly like that.  

It’s not flirting when you tell me that you worry that the stuff I post on Tumblr isn’t about you anymore

It’s not flirting when you tell me how important I am to your well being

It’s not flirting when you get excited that a post I made about holding hands and listening to a song together was about you.

It’s not flirting when you tell me I make you a better person

It’s not flirting when we talk practically every day for almost 8 hours straight.  

Sorry!  But that’s more than flirting, and yeah we might not do most of that anymore, but don’t you dare fucking tell me that what we had in the beginning was just flirting.  It might make you feel better to call it that, but you and I both know it was more.
