To Call You Friend

Friend

To call you friend

is not enough

We are one brain

Your happiness is my ecstasy

Your sadness is my grief

And despite my heart's crave for loneliness

I cannot run far from you

Your conversation lights up a room

Your smile makes me think

And your being lights on fire

this crumpled paper ball in my chest

Forget the world

the blanket, the sky, the noise

and I'll remember the music of your name

because that means so much more

than to call you friend
