ode to silence

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
