If I Could Say This...

I like you But in a friend way of course Like a bird loves the sky Like the plants love the rain Like a warm hug after a cold day You make my world brighter The colors pop and glow The birds sing love songs I never laugh as hard as I do with you You make my smile beam You make me feel lighter You make me feel softer You make me feel like I can finally breathe You make me feel like me I don't have to be fake with you I can let my guard done I don't have to be a hard ass I could cry and you'd rub my shoulders I could vomit and you'd hold my hair I could lose my voice and you'd talk for me I could need quiet space and you'd sit with me I could fall asleep and you'd bring me to bed You know I am always here for you You could cry and I'd rub your shoulders You could throw up and I'd wipe your mouth You could get sick and I'd care for you You could need someone to rent to and I'd be there You could fall asleep and I'd tuck you in Without you my world goes grayscale The birds stop singing and only sigh My shoulders ache My throat goes raw I miss you A day without you is a boring one I miss you more than I care to admit But you won't hear me say any of this I wish I knew how to tell you though
