Just a friend...

When he smiles,
His eyes glitter like water in the sunlight.
When he laughs,
It's the music that I think of to sleep at night.

He fills my cup to the brim.

When he's frustrated,
He runs his hand through his hair.
When he's hurt,
He hides it from others with care.

I guess I picked up both from him.

When he speaks,
His voice is always kind.
When he's quiet,
His words seem to bind.

He's just so soft-spoken.

When he's with me,
Every moment is one to prize.
When he's gone,
I miss his hello-goodbyes.

When he's not around I feel almost broken.

I depend on him,
Like a child on its parent.
Unlike anyone else,
He makes me feel so transparent.
At least he knows I exist…

But it crushes me every day to know that I'm just a friend to him…
