I want us to

   

I want us to be friends
and feel it all over again.
I want to feel you
and stay up right here,
watching you talk defenseless.

I want you to stop worrying,
to forget the insecurities when we're together.
Not talk about work, and offer advice,
or other relationships, and offer advice
but hold on to each otherlike nothing else exists.
Because it doesn't.

I want us to not look at each other' failure
or potential.
I want us to not remember
our constraints, our weaknesses.

I want us to be friends
and feel it all over again.
spend time we acquire,
urgently discovering each other.

Leaving ourselves burning up in each
other' atmosphere wouldn't be good.
As you never let your self get locked
into myself.


Not that we ever did much of this
but we can start now.
