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

  • Heat

    I am

    burning

    this is not unusual

    for me, the radiator

    but this isn't

    I'm freezing it's cold outside

    friends grab me for warmth because

    I'm a human sun

    sunny smiles 

    sunny skin 

  • Kids

    Sectionals

    is the equivalent of a curse word.

    He warned us not to complain

    I did anyway.

    It's chaos

    no one listens

    nothing gets done

    unproductive

    I hate being useless.
