Whims

Yes, this feels silly

writing poems about you

heck I'm thankful that

love songs don't come a-running

to me anymore

although I've thought

that you could put this in tune

just as how I'd tune in to you

when you're in the room

Funny how I've never noticed

how cute we look together

until pictures of us surfaced

I've pushed away

every mushy feeling

and tried to

become more cerebral

about this little joke

called life

Then I realized

that maybe I should do something

and tell you how I feel

But it hasn't come to a point

that I want to

so maybe 

you could stay a bit

and make me smile

we don't have to be together

but we can sit side by side

I'll love you like I love my brother

and you can love me back too

like, 

like, 

well I don't know 

what I can compare myself to

But I just wanted you to know

that I really like you

though these may be

just the whims

of someone who feels

like she's eternally young

thank you for making me smile

on days when 

I feel like crap

thank you for encouraging me

even if you don't know

that you do

thank you for being you

and thank you for 

being in my life
