Friends

3/5/11

I was telling you a story

but my head was far away

Thinking of us and a someday

but then I came back down to earth

and to the reality

that dreaming of a someday

just isn't right right now

but someday we'll be together

holding hands and smiling wider

than we are now

(as if that is possible)

For now I'm content with liking you

and you, with liking me.

Okay with not acting

on those thoughts

Okay with being friends.

Your sister says you don't smile often,

don't laugh easily,

but when we hang out

I hear your laughter often

see you smile,

comfortable with me

and us.

I can hear your sadness as well,

your frustration, your weaknesses.

Those times, I only want to comfort you

let you know I'm here to hear.

And your worries are mine too.

We are just friends,

and I am okay with that
