that’s all we are
and everything is alright
there are no hard feelings

just friends

I never expected much
anything at all really
only what we are

just friends

we might have kissed
but I don’t care
everything is normal

just friends

you and me
back to the way
it should’ve always been

just friends

“I want you to kiss me”
and to my surprise he did
one second I’m giggling
and the next I’m kissing him
“this doesn’t feel real”
I don’t know if that was
because of the tequila
or because I was  
kissing my best friend
either way, we were both breathless
I just wanted to get closer
I just wanted to kiss him more
experience him as he did the same
we were intwined for what felt like hours
I couldn’t believe myself when
I was cuddled in his arms
I kissed his jaw
I had been longing to do that
but it was actually happening
he gently played with my fingers
and lazily dragged his finger tips
up and down my side
“I knew you wanted to get cuddly tonight”
embarrassed that he could see right through me
I buried my face in his chest
“I wish you could’ve had the courage
to do this sober, Linsey”
staring into his deep brown eyes
I managed to say seriously
“I will kiss you when I’m sober. I promise.”
he nodded in agreement
beginning to kiss me again
his hand in my hair
the other trailing up my back
my hand on his jaw
feeling the stubble on his cheek
his tongue and mine
finding each other in the dark
in one fluid motion
he had squeezed me tighter
and laid me on my back
our bodies pressed against each other
he started on my neck
goosebumps lined every part of me
he chuckled, his warm breath hitting my skin
we pulled away and
just grinned at each other
knowing that we had done something
we couldn’t take back
but who would want to?

I took a shower
I put on jeans
I got off campus
I ate two meals
I spent a few hours in a public place
I talked to someone with my voice and not over text
I wrote
I studied
I feel okay
Today was a victory
A small victory
depression didn't swallow me whole today

She shreds every hopeful thought
whispering deprecating words
until that's all there is

At first, you try to ignore her
make her words disappear
but she is persistent

You believe that you are
stronger than she will ever be
the fighting can only last so long

She knows how to get to you
don't let her sink you
she isn't worth it

Her name is said at ease
by those who don't truly know her

The one and only
intimidating manipulative liar

I don't want to think about you any more
I don't want to write about you any more
You infiltrate all of my thoughts
You infiltrate my every move
Here I am
Ready to defeat you
Ready to be rid of you
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I'm angry that I'm sorry
I'm angry that you're not
Here I am
I don't want to think about the good things
I don't want to feel the hurt either
Yet here I am
Thinking, feeling
Writing about you

we may not always agree
but you have affected my life
every single day
I couldn't wait to go see you
I sat in the very front row
right in front of your desk
we talked for a whole hour
about lessons and life
for four straight years
you were a steady constant
all ten of us were
so contently discussing
not just about Spanish
not just about life
you are forever a part
of my growth
I miss your class
every single day
you made high school less awful
thank you for four amazing years

you have opened your mouth and I am listening
I wonder is your heart open too
I soak in your words
give me more
I crave to know you
you try to hide your face
share your hurt with me
I want to be there for you
you smile and laugh
and I pray it's real
I can tell you are happy
but I ask "are you joyful?"
open your heart as well as your mind
I'm here for you always
you and me together
a trusting friendship
