Perhaps a simple hi can spark a friendship
Or even being paired for a project
Maybe just cracking a joke can too
Or relating over similar interests you hold
But sometimes the most important friends
Are the ones who just show up in your life
With no memory of how you met them
Just a friend who has been there
With no introductions or relations
Just there
And stayed there

Sweaters

If I hid my chest away
Under baggy clothes and sweaters
And changed my name completely
To three whole different letters
Would you love me just as sweetly?
Or should I keep my love in tethers
Hiding everything behind
These baggy clothes and sweaters

Watch

Still I stand as I watch you fly
Up, up, and away you go
You’re leaving me behind, you know?
But all I can do is watch
Watch as you distance yourself
Watch as you chase your dreams
Watch as you slowly slip from my grasp
And despite all this
I smile
I wish you well
I stand and watch
And I hope to remember
The platonic love and hate we shared
As brother and sister.

My blood brother. Don’t leave for college.

I offer it to you

Before you I stand,
My heart in my hand,
As I hold it up
And offer it to you
Like a desperate pup
Giving a torn up shoe.

My Sweet Girl

I love you
My sweet girl
I always have
But you never were “mine”

A Crush

Do you ever feel
You have to stand out
When you have a crush?
I was loud
I was crazy
I went overboard with what I did
Just so he would notice me

Crushes are stupid.
So is love.

Rewrite the Stars

One day when we carpooled
We duetted a song
So I learned all the lyrics
So with you I could sing along
And hear that beautiful voice of yours

One day when we carpooled
We sang with glee
You took the woman’s part
And the man’s part was me
But you’re male and I’m female

One day when we carpooled
Our bond grew even stronger
But it could’ve been different
If I held on a little longer
Because we weren’t meant to be

Rewrite the Stars
The song that we sang
I still remember your voice
And how in the air it rang
But we never carpooled again

If I could Rewrite the Stars
I would wish
That we went to the same school
So I can duet with you
Once more
