Pinkies Hooked

We’d hook pinkies

And promise

BFFs forever

Because an extra forever

Never hurts.

 

We’d hook pinkies

And promise

To keep secrets

Guarded at our heart

With our lips a (gullible) security guard.

 

We’d hook pinkies

And promise

That friendship bracelets meant

More than an hour

And some thread.

 

We hook pinkies

And it’s a promise

We don’t say out loud

Call it what you want

Take it as you want

I think

It’s love.

    who can't stand straight in lines

    but they can jump straight
