we've been friends

forever

nothing more

though i

catch

you

stealing glimpses

at me

and though

you

and me

fit together

perfectly, we-

don't want to

perhaps, break-

the friendship we have

and wish

was more.

so i'll

have to be content

with

my dreams in my head

of us together.

two girls,

laughing

like nothing else

in the world-

matters

both

wishing for courage

to

steal a kiss

of the

other.

no such courage.

i want to

wake

with you next to me

pressed together

like-

we are joined

at the hip.

i love how

your

eyelashes

flutter slightly

as you dream.

how

your cheeks flush

when i

kiss them.

and how

when you wake

you

smile

to see me.

as do i.
