everything about you was
clever, insecure, intelligent
too quick,
with panicked genius
your lsat scores, your law school acceptances
your debating skills I envied
and how you seemed to know
a little bit about everything.
overcompensating.

my sisters made fun of me
but I never knew
what was strange about you
you were the first best friend
and I belonged
now I realize how odd that is.
I miss
fourth grade innocence.

(23x365) ninth grade desire
I fought myself over you
we're still friends
(not sure if what I felt was real)
now I know
love is a pit,
you can fall in
but you have to climb out. |

(22x365) you thanked me for the cure
to your depression
but I only ever talked to you
for selfish reasons
I only ever kissed you
for selfish reasons:
you are the safest man
I have ever known. |

maybe after the distance
and ambition you have lost
your faith,
your ring ('true love waits')
but I think of you:
strong, bible, perfect
curls in your hair, description
in your stories
you always seemed flawless. |
