this is you
and this is me
and this is us
this is the late night phone calls
about futures we are too sure of
the midnight drives
across miles we aren't scared enough of
the butterfly kisses
the chubby cheek kisses
the french kisses
on your bed
this is every night
I've called you crying
because my sister is too sick
to function normally
this is every day
you've called me fuming
because your dad makes you madder than you've been in months
this is you
this is me
this is us
this is the feeling I get in my gut
when you tell me you love me
this is the calm that takes over me
when your lips are pressed to mine
this is the tears that well in your eyes
when you look at me for too long
this is the quickness of your pulse
when my hands are in your hair
this is the closeness I feel to you
and you to me
the understanding we share
the laughs
the tears
the beauty
the bad
you, me, us, we
we are not our distance
we are not the miles between us
we are not the doubt
the fear
the complications
we are friendship
we are love
we are us
this is you
this is me
and this is us
