Only You

With you, it's all about
voiceless communication-
always knowing exactly what to say,
but never actually having to say it.

When no one seems to be listening,
you hear.
When I hurt but don't show it,
you know.
When I turn away to hide my tears,
you see.
When I feel like I can't get through to anyone,
you understand.

Your eyes glow just for me,
and I know you're proud.
You flash your magical, healing smile my way,
and I know everything will be all right.

You know everything there is to know about me.
You know what worries me,
what keeps me up at night,
and what shames me so badly
that I can't share it with anyone.
Most importantly, though,
none of those things bother you.

You've restored my faith in people
and proved that there is a thing
called true friendship.

Can You See It In My Eyes?

You don't know how I'm feeling.
I have yet to vocalize
Desire deep inside me.
Can you see it in my eyes?

I tremble when I'm near you
Heat travels up my thighs
and I want you with an urgency
That I just can't describe.

Dare I reach out to touch you?
Do you think you'd realize
How much I want and need you?
Can you see it in my eyes?

I long to say, "I love you,"
But am scared of your reply.
Terrified like a child
I've become paralyzed.

The camouflaged emotions
Lead to pain and silent cries.
And yet I just can't tell you.
Don't you see it in my eyes?

Confessing through this poem
My dilemma summarized.
The feeling's quite cathartic,
But will lead to my demise.

                         Friendship
 
Friendship is a strange thing.

We find ourselves telling each other

the deepest details of our lives...

things we don't even share with the families who

raised us.

But what is a friend?

A confidant? A shoulder to cry on? An ear to listen?
A heart to feel?

A friend is all these ... and more.

No matter where we met,

no matter how long we've been together

... I call you friend.

A word so small, yet so large in feeling,

a word filled with emotion,

a word overflowing with love.

Truly great things come in small packages.

Once the package of friendship has been opened,

it can never be closed.

It is a constant book always waiting ... waiting to be read ... and enjoyed.

We may have our disagreements ...

we may have our disappointments ...

we may argue ... we may concern one another ... friendship is a unique

bond that lasts through all tribulations.

A part of each of us goes into our friendships ... our humor ...

our experiences ... our tears.

Friendships are foundations ... necessary for life ... and love.

Friends ... you and me ...
you brought another friend and then we were three ... we started our group ... our circle of friends ...

there is no beginning ... there is no end 

"Best Friends"
 
It was so hard leaving home,
you know how it feels I'm not alone.
Even harder i cant go back,
You take my hand, its alright.
I look at the photos then I
                           cry,
You do the same, but then you smile.
I look at you and now I know, 
You are my best friend I should've
                           known.
I should've know it when I trusted you, you didn't fail 
me and we made it through.
You never failed me and I know
                           you never will, 
even though it gets heavy I know
                           that we can deal.
So remember one thing where ever you are where you'll be,
we'll stay best friend for ever, you can trust in me.
