happy/sad

you make me happy and sad

you make me cry out of laughter

and it feels so good

because this is what i sought after

i’ve wanted to feel your hand in mine

you stroking my thumb

you’re squeezing my palm

and my fingers go numb

but this isn’t pain

this is strength of us now

stronger than before

and i really don’t know how

we’ve come so far

since our first try at this

it was really awkward then

and it still kind of is

but the awkward isn’t bad

it’s the connection between us two

we understand our flaws

because they’re obvious and true

my eyes of black walnut

look into yours of sage

and in the book of my life

you’re turning a page

a new chapter, a new us

and our friendship adjusts

you are my best friend

i know that much is true

and these months i've waited

because i love you
