Sort of familiar

It's sort of familiar

You next to me

I can't tell if it's me being familiar to you

How you feel beside me

Or familiar to

Being pressed against someone on a couch

(this has happened to me a lot)

Or familiar to

Having someone I like

Love

Next to me on a couch

I don't know

But it's sort of familiar

The way your hand feels

Your knuckles

Fingertips

It's sort of familiar

Because I'm sort of used to it

Though I doubt if the jolt will ever not happen

I know this is my familiarity to you

Because I've never done this with anyone else

Aside from friends

It's sort of familiar now

Safe

Comforting

It's sort of familiar

You are

To me

Familiar

  • Sleigh ride

    Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too

    F F F F F G F-D Bb C D C-A G F-

    imitating the human voice with instruments

    percussion back there repeatedly hitting the sleigh bells

  • Family

    I showed my grandmother my keyboard

    she took six years' of lessons when she was younger.

    Her fingers found the keys -

    she could still read -

    just enough

    just a little.

    I pulled out my flute-piano duet book

  • First kiss

    You cared;

    I tried to.

    You did;

    I thought I did.

    I wanted so badly

    to be a character in my books

    and to feel longing

    to feel needing

    to feel love and to

    be loved
