we are friends
04/24/2006 10:30 p.m.
late nights
we're confiding secrets through the phone.
i am huddled on my bathroom floor,
smiling as we speak,
and then laughing, laughing, laughing.
we are friends.

when we're alone
we touch
(gently, carefully)
and we kiss
undaunted.
we are friends.

we respect each other.
i think we may even share
a general fondness of each other.

but i am shamless.
and you are shy.

we will never be in love.
and i like that.
