She can sleep in my bed
He can rest on my head
She can answer my ‘whys’
He can ask me for tries
She can comfort my sadness
He can translate my madness

But it’s not that easy
Love lies when it listens
Love cries and love dies
Love hides its decisions
Love’s unwise and love flies

She can light up my heart
He can shine in the dark
She can heal my disease
He can warm up my breeze
She can shield me from rain
He can help me with pain

But it’s not that easy
Love leaves after staying
Love does freeze and love sees
Love believes when it’s praying
Love deceives and love thieves

Sometimes you're a footnote.
Others can refer to.

Other times you're lucky enough.
To be a whole entire chapter.

Some people go.
So they turn into a page.

As they wonder why.
They're not mentioned,
Again by name.

Other people's stories.
Will stay estranged from you.

While others will weave,
Their way into your world.

We are all just living stories.
Wanting to be heard.
Needing to be seen.

Trying to find a home.
Among the margins.
Of life.

We are all just stories.
With something to say.

That we are here.
Even if it was just,
For a chapter or two.

We all become stories.
At the end of the day.

I like you,
Honest!

I like how you look,
how you smell,
how you taste.

I love the exquisite way you carry yourself
And the compassion you’ve always shown others
In spite of their shortcomings.

How you look so beautiful in that dress
at the dance
I definitely stared once or twice  

So yes, I like you,
I just wish you would like you too.
"I like you, Honest I do!" is a phrase I would die to hear from someone.

I'd like to see if anyone can figure out the story here!
He left.
I’m not ready to cheer myself up again; to bring all the bright phrases to the point of being so intense and real inside my flesh, I prefer to commit to writing deadly, like there’s nothing more interesting than stamping your departed soul with all the Poets’ nihilism.

You can describe
The awe inducing beauty
Of a sun kissed morn
Or of the towering, starry night sky
And never realize it's value

Plain as my favourite shirt my life was back then
Smile I could show, an imprint of happiness
To say if I've truly been elated, never until you
Life is euphoric since I've met you

Jolly I am, truly as a person
Though even the cheery, smiles for a reason
From then, every day I show genuine grin
Even ask people how they have been

Life is euphoric, now that I'm with you
Sincere happiness, I could tell, it's true
Though, I wonder how's it for you
Hopefully life is euphoric on your part too

How I know you are my best friend:
Everytime something good happens I want you to know
I enjoy your company
I genuinely love you
When I go somewhere I wish you were there with me
I have an unlimited amount of respect for you and you respect me back
You want to help me and make sure I'm okay and I want to do the same for you
You actually care.
My mom loves you
You want to talk about our lives and hardships and don't care if I vent
Thank you for being my best friend. For being you.
:)
