hanging
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

backtrack
did you notice
on the night before
the night before last
when you stood
in the middle
of my path
and started walking
closer to me
that i was
slowly
backing away
from you
just like old times?
did you see me
staring down
keeping my eyes from yours?
i could feel you
looking
straight through me
trying to convince me
over and over again
how wrong i was
how right you were
how people
just don't
do
such a thing
and i saw myself
backing away from you
(as i did
yesterday
and a day ago)
thinking
it all comes down to this
you
not even knowing
your own strength
and i
forgetting
what you do
with your power
over and over again
damn me for crossing you
and being fooled again
damn you for wanting me
to be the me
i never said i was
don't make up
my future
without even knowing
what i am now
i'll back away
and back away
once more
never
to retrace
my steps again
(gone)
