call me crazy
but lately I feel like
this friendship
has blossomed in such a way
that I crave your company
and long for the smile
that spreads across my face
when you're in my presence
and loathe any obstacle
that keeps me away from you

at a hibachi grill, from across the u-shaped table
with a burst of flame illuminating your face
your ever-smiling eyes locked in on mine
and the scene looked the way my heart felt
