we are the perfect friends because we freely hold hands
we are the perfect friends because we freely loosen ends
we are the perfect friends because we’ve learned how to listen
we are the perfect friends silent under sunlight prisms
we are the perfect friends, laughing in the middle of summer
we are the perfect friends, always running after each other
we are the perfect friends because we speak like water
we are the perfect friends though we are the imperfect daughters
and love is a soft spoken word shown in actions rarely few

and darling i heard it loud
while i was getting to know you.
