unless we stay

unless we stay

if friends is all that we are,
then one day we will be too far
to feel what we feel today,
unless of course, we stay
close, whatever that may mean.
a depth like this i have not seen
emerge from anybody’s being,
and so i’m loving what i’m seeing,
what i’m feeling, what i’m hearing.
i could gift you with an earing,
but i choose to save that thing
for the day on which you bring
me to my knees, making me propose.
i hope i don’t overdose
on your love till that day comes.
our silence kills and numbs
more than just my heart and mind.
you’re unique, one of a kind.
