Just Friends

But it feels like the morning sun Soft at first but rising fast, And every day I wake and find I've felt it more than in the past. But each love song hums your name to me, Each lyric knows your touch by heart. The beat becomes your gentle laugh, and suddenly I’m dancing arms apart. But the air feels warm the world feels new, All my food wears your embrace Even strawberries, a sweeter hue, Like sugar spun in your traced grace. But you are the jazz that sways my soul, A rhythm wrapped in candlelight, A hand to hold through pouring rain, Barefoot twirls in dusky night. But every giggle in my chest, Each fluttered breath, each giddy sigh. I see my whole world when you smile, I see my future in your eyes. It’s old school sweet, this kind of thing The flowers bloom, the teacups clink. You're my forever slow and true, More perfect than I used to think. And still, I fall each day, again, Like leaves that drift or stars that dive. I’m yours in every song and scent The luckiest heart to be alive.
