with my bestie
silent as always
he's amazing
yet i can't find the words
to say anything
just to talk
just to share
just to relate
just to know
i should be
just content
to breathe the same air
but
i'm into words
(both vague and clear)
and i feel something
in my heart
demanding
to come out
but
as my lips part
to let free
some silly
overlived phrase
he looks at me
with deep eyes
and stares at me
seriously
and we laugh
our
heads off
snorting
into our coffees
in a display
most unbecoming
to love-tortured couples
(but
why do you have
to torture your love
with hallmark words?)
let the joy
in your eyes
and the snorts
in your . .uh . .nose
show the love
that ever-grows
in your heart
the words
won't be remembered
half as much
as the twinkle in your eyes
(shaddup)
