You're the ** in my favorite song
You're the rhythm
That drives me along
Gotta turn you up to turn me on
It's magnetic I get it
I don't want it to ever stop.

Addicted to you to you
There's nothing that I won't do,
Won't do to see you
I'm so addicted to you, to you
I only really want to,
Want to be near you.

I'm the light on at your place
I'm a bird on the wire
As hard as I try
As I try to forget you
I can't get you out of my mind.

I need you like a candy
I need you like...
Addicted to you,
There's nothing that I can do,
About it.

I've had my eyes on you for some time
I met you at the coffee shop in line
On our first sip it took you back right to
Your favorite diner outside of the town

I can't get enough of your dandelion love
Oh, I can see a sailboat in the sky
So take me out to see all the things that we could be
Oh, we can let the day fly by

You wrote a song for me and sang it
Now in my head it's always playing
And now we're dancing hand in hand together
Late into the night, under the moon.

The rustling leaves
A hint of rain
My shining heart to rust again

My eyes stayed closed
But memories rise
The earth, her face
The lake, her eyes

They see fields
I see you
They hear rain
I hear too

Your laugh, your voice
Your fear, your joy
Everywhere, everywhere
Everywhere is you

You shared all your secrets and confided in me
I thought I was helping by setting them free
I trusted too much
Maybe that is my curse
And I saw your face and it tore me apart
Friends first

Friends first
When the tension's mild
When your turn is up and the chips are down
On the same team once but I get it now
Friends first
Friends first

Why don't you care that you threw my heart on the flour
Now I'm moving on
Walking out the door
Friends no more

Friends first
When the seconds count
Friends first
When the tension's mild
When your turn is up and the chips are down
Once BFF's but I guess not now
Friends no more.
This is the second version of friends first poem.
Nicole May 2020
You shared all your secrets and I set them all free
The look on your face says, "I'm only helping me"
And I can be blind
And that is my curse
Now I know I saw from those who matter most
Friends first

Friends first
When the seconds count
Friends first
When the tension's mild

When your turn is up and the chips are down
Couldn't see before, I get it now
Friends first
Friends first

Loving you more than a song or a grade
I know and accept all the mistakes I've made
'Cause you are my future and you my past
This won't be the only and it won't be the last
Friends first

Friends first
When the seconds count
Friends first
When the tension's mild
When your turn is up and the chips are down
I was missing something, but I get it now
Friends first

Blue and green we're the colors in between
All the things I've said, are all the things you've seen
White and grey we can still a stormy day
And all the things we fear we can't find the time to say.

Colour me terrified, colour me proud
Colour me anxious to say it out loud,
Colour me gratified, colour me fine
Colour me happy as long as you're mine.

Sand and slate oh you were worth the wait
All the lies I've lived have led me to your face.
Sea and sky, break all the rules or live a lie
Teach me all you know, my eyes are open wide.

Colour me terrified, colour me proud
Colour me anxious to say it out loud,
Colour me gratified, colour me fine
Colour me happy as long as you're mine.

I'm helpless
Overpowered
I swear you hit me at a 100 miles an hour
I stoke the fire and tend the flame
Crashing, burning do it all again.
You're reckless
No mercy
I can't resist it even though I know it hurts me.
So roll the dice and play the game
I'm lost in love with no one else to blame
I'm falling down, I'm falling for you now
So catch me love before I hit the ground.
I know we have crossed the line
When your heartbeats just like mine
And all our stars align

— The End —
