I love you

My friend just told me that she loved me, 
But I don't think she loves me the way I love her. 

"I love you too." 
But I do love her, 

I love the way she always knows what I'm talking about, 
And the way she tells me all of her secrets
Because she knows I keep them right next to mine. 

"You're my best friend, I love you so much" 
She responds with her head resting on my shoulder. 

The words I say have no meaning, 
Because I know I don't love her the way she loves me.

  • Yesterday

    yesterday 
    to you i was nine years old 
    with a black hurley hat 
    that never left my head 
    the hat that you would take 
    and try to hold it far above 
    my reach knowing i could never get it 

  • Seasons

    Summer nights

    Taste of sweet smoke

    Laughter and kindness

    The generosity of strangers

    The hopes of tomorrow

    And the struggles of a past day


     

    Fall days

    Feel the heat on your back
