Together

You’re different

With all of us

Versus just me.

You’re different

With a whole crazy friend group

Than you are when it’s us chilling in your basement watching Stranger Things 

Or playing flute in my room 

Or practicing for the spelling bee on your couch

Or going over a duet with your dad.

You’re different with me and honestly,

Honestly it’s good different,

I mean you know I’ll always love you

Infinity forever figures five and three

But you are so much more real

When you don’t have to be a certain way for the people around you

When you know it’s me and you know me

When it’s just us

You’re different

And you can talk to me

And I can talk to you

And this is the boy I fell in love with because

Because he was like this

With me

From day one and I don’t know why but I was too

And you’re different depending on who you’re with and so am I

But I think we’re a little happier

A little more ourselves

When we’re with each other

  • Festival

    Long day

    past where morning sun shines and into the dark huskiness of night

    fluorescent lights beating down 

    then flickering off

    a fanfare

    a reflection

    a redemption

  • Instincts

    Some things are just instinct

    like when I just ran to you

    as soon as I saw you

    and hugged you for -

    oh yeah -

    the first time

    very very platonic of course

    you're my big brother.

  • Flying solo

    Your solo is like sun shining through the clouds in my heart

    it's like a platonic ballad

    it's like you are playing

    through first loves

    and forbidden loves

    and grass in the summer

    and crunchy chips
