I've cried often
and tasted the salt and sadness.
But that was before.
It would only take the once when
I kissed the rain from his lips
and that
would be all that ever mattered.

I know such foolishness
I'm experiencing it myself
But I also know how it tingles
When you tell your fears and secrets

The gap between your teeth
And your eyes, oh how it sparkles
I sometimes want an out
For your existence, it overwhelms

I know that it should hurt
How I'm loving you in secret
But not at all, when I know
Our friendship brings contentment
